I had a feeling this would be a lesson in pain. I decided to go back to what the carb came with, knowing if anything it would just make things rich. Then, I decided to check the needle and, 'lo and behold, it was at position 4!!! The manual said it is set to position 3, or the middle. I moved it back to where I thought it was supposed to be, 3, and therefore leaned it. I will likely have to move it back. Seems the base setting they shipped the carb with was best, although a bit rich. So here's where I'm at now:


Main Jet: 115
Pilot Jet: 40
Needle: Position 3, or middle


The air mixture is turned almost all the way in, I believe it's 1/2 turn out. Does it make sense that when I move the needle to position 4, or richer, I will likely have to turn the air screw out to lean, and therefore hopefully be within the 1 to 2.5 turns out sweet spot?
