    You can’t have it shut off the fuel with the lever still in the adjustment window. That would only give you about 1/8 or less of a turn adjustment on the high speed needle. When the high speed needle is closed it should point back around the spark plug. Closing the needle would only be necessary if you are transporting the motor on it’s side. Also, the manual states to advance the high speed lever to the fuel rich position when starting and to back off to the middle position when warm. I find this is necessary on my Bendix as it likes that extra bit of fuel at start up.
