Almost finished getting the engine cleaned up and reassembled. Waiting for a new rotor from a member on this board and finishing up the polishing of the tank and side covers. Have a question about the carb though. What is the initial setting for the needle/jet and the orientation of the knob on the end of the shaft? Once it is in and the rest of the carb assembled, I don’t see any way to adjust it further so I’m guessing the initial set up needs to be close. I usually bottom out and then turn out 1 1/2 turns on a vehicle carb but do not have any experience with 2 strokes. The needle is adjustable by the dial the attaches to the shaft but it can only turn from lock to lock. Also need to know the approximate float level on the float needle. It appears to have just been centered on the shaft originally. Thanks again in advance.
