All my motors run well at about 1- 1 and 1/4 turns out for low speed needle, and about 1/3 turn out for the high speed. Knowing it will end up on the final tune as these settings, I dispense with the 1-1/4 and 1 turn out and simply go to these automatically.
NOTE: If you open the high speed any more than 1 turn out it will cause starting problems and flood the motor. I scratched my head about this and learned the hard way. Had a perfectly good running motor, til I opened up the high speed needle too much and then had starting/running probs. I know, if it was running perfectly, why did I open the high speed needle more? Dunno, but it happened right when I was trying to demonstrate the motor to a customer. Finally smoothed out and he was happy then and bought it.
