Lets assume no spark problems and no fuel problems and no air leaks. The only thing we need to adjust is the carb. Let's further assume that your carb came from the factory with the jet, needle and idle screw set in such a way that the carb wouldn't run properly. You can change jets all day or ... you could change the needle clip all day ... or.... you could change the idle all day... but your carb is still never going to be right. No amount of changing one of those things is going to make up for the other two being drastically wrong. So my question is, when you have no experience with carbs ... how do you get one or two of those things (jet, needle clip, idle) close enough to good that you can adjust the remaining things?
If someone said "here fix this, the idle is wrong" that I could do. Same for the jet or the needle clip. But if you don't know what is right or wrong it becomes impossible to decide what to do first.
I'm assuming that If three things are drastically wrong, changing one thing at a time is not going to be much help. Am I wrong? If not where do you start?
