Pilot Jet Setting Clarification

Post by Seamuso » Mon Jul 22, 2019 9:21 pm

Hey guys, new here and I'm trying to sort out an nc21 I picked up a couple weeks ago. I just wanted some clarification on the pilot jet setting. I see a lot of people say to screw it out 2 turns from fully in - does this refer to the actual jet inside the float bowls or only the a/f mixture which is adjusted externally on the carbs? The jetting guide I found here seems to imply on the external adjustment screw is out 2 turns. Currently my pilot jet is screwed all the way in, with the external a/f pilot screw 2 turns out.

Thanks in advance!

All the internals are screwed up tight - you don't want them loose - BUT DONT KILL THEM...
The external screw is set at 2 turns out.
