    Remember I have NO GAS in my motor so my pictures show my float needle tip down.

    Yours will be up and near the primer lever end.

    Now your Sea King is running but it is kinda doggy, huffing and puffing. Slowly move your mixture

    knob CW until it starts running well. You will need to fine tune this needle position to find your Sea King’s

    best running setting. It may take a minute or two and a few tries to get it perfect. This is where you need to

    keep your adjusting needle/HS needle still while moving your knob and primer cam positions to where you

    want them permanently. Note knob center-line is vertical and primer cam tip is away from the primer lever.

    Here is how I set mine:

    Sea Kings Baby!!!
