Do you have one of those knobs that does not come off the needle? Normally they have a setscrew or something. Usual procedure is remove the knob, open the needle about 1/2-3/4 turn, prime & start motor. With motor running wide open throttle (preferably on a boat), turn needle to right till starts to lose power, then back to left till it regains power. Then install knob so it points straight up (or half scale–depending on knob type)
