Wording on the suction feed portion of the carb, suggest that
the “high speed” needle is also the “fuel shut off”.
Even though there’s no gravity flow from the gas tank to carb,
perhaps one would want to shut off the fuel when the motor
is tipped up or laid down.If one uses the high speed needle for both uses, and you stroked
the lever to operate from “shut off” (or lean) to “Rich”, and stay
within the slot of the cowling, you’d only have about 1/4 turn open max
on the HS needle.
I discovered though, that the lever would go past “Lean” and inside the
cowling and continue to turn until it hits the inside of the cowling.
(see photos). Setting up the needle in this way gives it about 7/8
turn open in the “Rich” extent of the lever.
Anyone know if it’s meant to be set up in this manner?
Prepare to be boarded!
I am not at home to look at how mine is set up.
But with the needle in the “off position” could you reposition
the lever on the needle so it swings within the window while
Shutting the fuel off and still maintain the proper mixture
adjustment?
I assume the needle and seat are in good shape and
positioned correctly.Just a thought without having mine in front of me.
Respectfully,
