pilot jet screws

Post by MIKE DAVIS »

does turning the pilot jet screws out from, say, 2 to 2 1/2 turns give it more fuel or air?

Mike, be careful at 2 1/2 turns. The spring tension becomes a bit light at that point. Don't want a screw vibrating out. (If I remember correctly from trying, at about 3 turns things become fairly loose.)
