REALIGNMENT OF METERING NEEDLE AND

MIXTURE CONTROL VALVE

In the course of making carburetor

adjustments, it is just possible that the Metering

Needle and the Mixture Control Valve may be

inadvertently screwed in or out too far and

thereby moved beyond its effective adjustment

range.

The basic positions can be found by rotating
the Metering Needle until its slotted head is

flush with the Throttle Lever body.

First rotate the Mixture

Control Valve until its
slotted head is flush with
the carburetor body.
Then screw the valve in
exactly 0.5 turn. This is

the standard position.
