Default 86 trailboss carb help....

I am working on a trailboss for my buddy. Had to rebuild the carb and I think the settings are off. The idle screw I can get but what about the air mixture screw? Does anyone know where I can find an online manual for it?

Thanks, Shaun

It was rebuilt do to sitting for 4 years. I'll do a compression test just to be on the safe side. Thanks!

FYI, here is a link to the Mikuni VM tuning manual:

Mikuni American Corporation

The link you want is: VM "Round Slide" Tuning Manual

(I am only assuming the 86 Trail Boss uses the Mikuni since my 88 does, disregard if not true)
