can anyone tell me how to adjust the idle mixture on an 04 330 magnum.i don't even see a mixture screw.it seems very lean.i have to feather the throttle through a flat spot for the first mile or so then its ok.until then its hard not to stall it.thanks

 

A lot of 325 and 330 engines were cold natured,some even more than others because of being set too lean from the factory. Worst one I found was a 325 Trail Boss that had to use the choke to take off until warm. Pulled the block off plug and found the fuel/air screw closed versus normal 1 1/2- 2 turns out. Take the carb out of the intake manifold,turn it over and in front of the fuel bowl is a round block off plug. Use a 1/8" drill and CAREFULLY drill through this plug,stop immediately when it goes through or you can damage the screw underneath. Use a dry wall screw and just wiggle the plug out.Turn the screw clockwise counting the turns to a lightly seated position. Most I've found were set around 1/2 to 3/4 turn out (too lean) with the exception of the one that was closed.You can set it and initial 2 turns out and after running you can fine tune it if necessary with a small screw driver or carb tool designed for this. After this,the choke should hardly be needed except on cold days and warm up time should be cut in half.

 

thanks,once again for helping me out with a clear and precise explanation.i don't think I should have any problem tackling that.
