Hey guys looking for more help from the guys that know best

Well....assuming the carb. has been rebuilt correctly and the float level is correct there isn't much else left to do but adjust the idle mixture screw. I turn the idle screw all the way in and then back it off about 1.5 turns. Make sure you have the linkage return spring installed and start it up. Then adjust the linkage idle to about 475 rpm's. Now turn the idle mixture screw in a little at a time until you can hear the engine stutter or slow down. Then back the screw out about 1/2 a turn.
