mikuni carb settings- 1980 440 liquifire

Post by iceygears73 »

Just got a pair of 36mm 's put back together and noticed that when I took them apart to soak them, both air screws and idle screws were all set different. Does anyone have info on how many turns out will get me back in approximate range ?
Thanks, Bryan
