screw clockwise and reduce idle speeds by turning the adjustment screw

counter-clockwise.

When the adjustments are set correctly, light smoke will be visible from the

exhaust and the engine RPM and acceleration will be strong and smooth.

Continually changing atmospheric conditions (temperature, humidity,

barometric pressure) mean that your engine will always require small

adjustments to optimize performance. Changes in altitude will also require

tuning adjustments.
