PROCEDURE
Model 14992 or 14998
The lower needle with the T-Handle is the main fuel
mixture. Turn it clockwise to lean.
The upper needle is the idle mixture. Turn it clockwise to
lean.
Start by setting the main mixture a 3 to 4 turns out.The idle
mixture is set at 1 turn out.
Run engine at 2/3 throttle, turn main needle in or clockwise
until engine starts to lose RPM. Then turn back or
counterclockwise until max RPM is obtained. Then turn
turn richer or counterclockwise.
To set the idle mixture, let engine idle for 10 seconds. Then
advance the throttle, if engine stumbles and blows black
smoke turn the idle mixture screw in or clockwise. The
mixture is sensitive so go only a 1/8 of a turn at a time. If
the engine bogs when the throttle is advanced the mixture is
lean, so turn the idle mixture screw counterclockwise to
richen.
The idle speed should be set at around 1000 rpm. It is set
by the idle speed screw on the throttle shaft.
