base carb settings

Post by dvenney »

i have a 76-77 cyclone 440. Well it all started with a bad gas! I have taken out all the bad gas from the tank and put on a new gas line. Then I cleaned the carb and need to know the setting for the throttle & other things???



Any help would be great!
thanks

You've got a Mikuni, there are 4 pages of instructions in the service manual (SM 2108 ).

The enrichener should be set so there is slight freeplay in the cable when the choke lever is down.

The airscrew 1 turn out from seated.

Idle should be set on a warm engine to 2000-2500 rpm.
