[almightythor]

what color will the fuel look like on my spark plug when i check it going hard for 4or5 sec. so i want to start with the air/fuel screw which way do i start to turn it and how far then when i check it how long before i know its working or not i need a 101 training on this if way one that Knows will help me figure this out i'd really apresheate it thanks

the only thing to make me think i'm not running rich is i start first kick and i idle fine

i think that it would look darker..... a reg blaster that is healthy should be kind of cardboard colored...

if the plug is all dark then its rich if its white your lean if its cardboard your good

Your plug will be kind of the color of a pancake when you're running the right mixture. The air screw isn't going to do much for your top end of the throttle. That's mainly to adjust the bottom end of the throttle. Check out the sticky at the top of the Engine page. That's how I learned about tuning my carb.

the air fuel screw which way is which

in is richer out is leaner...but thats only going to affect the mixture from idle-1/8 throttle.

in is right out is left?

in is right out is left?

in is clockwise...out is counter clockwise...just like any regular screw or bolt would be.

thanx point to you i've heard i should move it 1/4 turns at a time sound about right

if it starts and idles fine i dont know if the iar screw needs adjusted..when barely on the throttle just putting along how does the engine seem to run?
