Re: RDE-17 Johnson tuning issues

[fisherman6]

It seems that my RDE-16 has the high speed needle open closer to 1/2 turn or a little more. Do you kniw if your carb has the boss gasket in it or not? It could be that the 1/3 turn could be the setting without a boss gasket and your carb has one in place? I don’t know. I have been into only 2 of these carbs. Neither of those had a boss gasket when I took them apart, but I put one back into both of them. With that gasket in the carb, both of the carbs are between 1/2 & 3/4 turn out for best running. Not having it in there certainly allows more fuel into the high speed circuit at the same needle setting.
