Hi all,
Has someone out there got a Supertiger .61 that they can check the
setting of the low end needle on? I just picked up a new carb for mine
(long ago crash... long boring story) and I noticed the high end was out
something like 6 turns! That makes me suspicious that the low end may be
off too... unfortunately the manual doesn't give a default for the low end
needle. I'd like to get in the ballpark to start with to cut down the time
I need to spend tuning this thing up. Thanks.

Jack

The manual does outline a way to set the low speed. Close the carb down,
screw the needle all the way in, attach a piece of fuel tubing to the fuel
nipple and blow in the other end, slowly open the low speed needle until you
just hear some air being passed....you are really close at that time. Then
run the engine and set for best idle by leaning or richening with maybe 1/16
of a turn increments (it doesn't take much)

I think the manual says to attach a piece of fuel line to the carb nipple
and turn the low end needle just until you can just blow air through. It
always seemed like a good starting point. Good luck
