Default fuel screw t-handle

I just put a t-handle a/f screw into an FCR carb on a 465stroker. The screw is awesome and allows an easy adjustment, does anyone have one yet for the raptor. Paid about $30 for one and would gladly pay $60 to be able to easily adjust my a/f screw

Never seen it but it sounds cool. I get sick of having to disasemble half the quad to tune to A/F.

I know this has been asked before, but if you turn the air screw in (clockwise) on a Raptor, you are reducing the flow of fuel???

Or is it the other way around???

Thanks!

I posted something about this a couple days ago. If you take some solid copper wire and sodder into an "I" shape, then sodder it into the slot for the screw you'll have what your talking about for around $0.50 and very little time.

Rob yes clockwise is leaner.

In Is Richer, Out Is Leaner, The more turns out you go The more Air you allow to mix with the Fuel, I hope this Helps.

You are WRONG Blksnshn. the Raptor has fuel screws and you richen the mixture by backing them out and lean the circuit by screwing them in.

No ****. Is this true for all carbs or just some?

So you actually solder into the air mixture screw and leave it there all the time?

Or, am I just misunderstanding?

Ok, I just read Powrolls jetting 101 and some carbs are different, some have an Air/Fuel screw which is what the Raptor has and some just a Air Screw, Which is what i thought the Raptor Had. Sometimes I wish They would just make everything the same. Kinda like Wheel patterns, I would like to take wheels off any make of quad and be able to bolt them on a yami.
