Help with low end idle setup

Yeah. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. From what you've described, the engine runs perfectly. What happens when you set the low end needle per the instructions?

To quote an idol of mine, "What...me worry?"

I am sure the 1 1/2 - 2 turns refers to the high end needle valve setting starting point, or may be a misprint. If it runs fine at 1/8 - 1/16, then that is where I would leave it at and ignore the instructions... my 2c

Use what you have since it has already been proven to work. My Norvel 25 is about the same.

Sounds like my OS 61 SF. Idles somewhat well with the low end completely closed. Still scratching my head. Later

if an engine runs with everything closed it is getting air from somewhere. since that ought to be a bit of a saftey concern, best thing is to find out where the leak is coming from and fix it. first thing is make sure that the barrel is closing all the way, and you can test that by putting your finger over the carb when the engine is idling. if it dies, that's a pretty good indicator that the carb is not closing or properly seated.
