I am trying to set my fuel mixture. So, I used the FSM and started at 1.5 turns. With the engine running (it was warmed up) I turned it to 3 turns out until it did not speed up any more.
Started this morning and kept dieing, gave it some choke and let it warm up and it worked OK. Died at a stop sign. When it was fully warmed up, it would work fine.
So, now I am adjusting it cold and I am about 5-6 turns out. I have to let it cool down to make sure its OK. I know it needs to warm up a bit and its normal to give it choke. I am trying to find that proper balance (Isn't everybody?) and keeping the RPM at about 800 w/o choke.
Is 5-6 turns out on the fuel mixture screw normal? Where do you guys have your mixture set. I am at 5300 ft.
Second question. While idling in the garage, I noticed the barrel closest to the engine is wet (from fuel) and the barrel closest to the brake master is dry. Does this second barrel only kick in when you are driving and need the extra fuel? I'll go look at it some more to make sure after it cools down again.
