    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

When adjusting the pilot screws...

...for best idle, are you supposed to set each pilot screw to the same setting? Do you turn each screw a 1/8th for example and listen for the difference? Or do you set each screw separately?

When I am adjusting the screws, if I try to set them separately I notice the most difference to idle with the first screw I turn. By the time I get to the 4th screw I can barely hear a difference. I do get confused easily though - I am finding this carb tuning to be quite tricky.
 
Set each carb individually. They should be a similar number of turns out though, or else something else is wrong.
 
Sometimes it is easier if you drop the idle to 900 rpm while adjusting, do one carb, then drop idle down again before doing next. Should make it easier to hear changes. terrylee
 
Yep, use the highest idle method, set the first carb to get the highest idle it will give you, then drop the idle back down with the idle adjustment screw, set the second carb to the highest idle it will give you, and so on.
When you have set all four, set idle with the idle adjustment screw.
