    I'm 90% sure I'm understanding everything in terms of the engine parts...




    Just to clarify, I've been loosening the screw at the bottom of the 2 carbs and fuel has come out each time after trying to start it up (I also was giving it a bit of gas, which seems to be an issue...)---does that indicate that the carbs are working? and does that mean "I'm getting fuel back to the bowls"?

    Is it possible the idle screw could be impacting my starting it up? I know the mechanic made a few last minute adjustments on the idle screw before handing it over last week, and I just wanted to see if there's anything there that might need to be looked at...


    And lastly--what do I need to remove the plugs (tool-wise)?

    Thanks!!
