[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 439430, member: 7076"] If the carbs were brand new, probably. Once they have been aged a bit, the adjustments will vary. Any significant changes (more than one full turn either direction) are usually an indication that you need to do a full carb clean because the jets are getting clogged. As a reference, the starting point for the mixture adjustment is 1 1/2 turns out from a gently seated position. Don't tighten the mixture screw down, you'll either damage the needle or the seat. Gentle seat then 1 1/2 turns out. From there you can adjust per my previous post. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
