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:
So the pic showing the closeup of the hs knob…that is with the hs needle set at the approx 1/2 way open setting, then adjust for best tune once warm and reset knob and cam to same relationship?
