GG 9016A is a Wards Sea King number. So it is supposed to be Sea King colors, which I think were blue & white at that time. Video shows the blue

Is there a picture of the color scheme for this motor?

quote Jerry Ahrens:

What procedure are you using to adjust the high and low speed mixture needles?

I set the needle initially to the specs of 1 1/4 turn out and 3/4 turn out. I then start the motor and adjust the high speed until the motor smooths out, then bring the motor speed down to idle and adjust the idle mixture till it runs well without sneezing. Except, I never get there with the idle adjustment.

quote FrankR:

Lean sneeze at idle might be carb/spark sync. i.e. carb opening too soon. I think we know that “Will” guy that made the video. Seems like he would have found it if it is a sync problem though.

I checked that. It is not spot on but very close to the mark.
