<< The rod has threads on the end of it. If you want the carb richer, you srew the rod in and opposite for leaner. If you end up on a quarter turn or half turn, then you push up on the rod and twist it so that the rod's flat side is faceing towards the motor.

Yep, been there done that. I tried leaning it as much as two full turns and still spits and sputters when I take off. It clears up after I take off and get into the midrange of the motor.

 

Two turns is not very much. I would try at least two turns at a time, and then once I found a good starting point, then I would do the smaller turns to fine tune it.

I'll try that tomorrow, thanks.

 

Well, I got the bottom end dialed in today! What I don't understand is how? I had to richen it to make it work right!!! At first, I kept turning it counter-clockwise to make it leaner. I did this because of all the intake backfiring I was having it blew the carb off a time or two and there was a puddle of gas in the intake boot. Each and every counter-clockwise rotation would make it worse and worse. It would sputter very bad when i revved it up and got to the point where it wouldn't run anymore. Thats when I said screw it. And screw it I did, only this time clockwise, which the directions specifically shows as richening it. I had to turn it about 8 turns. Now it revs up fine and the bottom end is like a tractor again!!! The bad news is the plugs are black as the ace of spades. I might try and tune the power jet now and see how that works out. It runs terrific throughout the powerband except when I putt putt along it feels like it has a miss. It idles bad too, I can live with that for the time being though. The power increase was definitely worth the money.

 

Mine is the same way while putting and idleing. I think that might be normal. I remember a buddy of mine put a flat slide carb on his 900rr and it did the same thing.

Maybe knutz or someone can give so input.
