air/fuel mixture screws - 7/15/2007 9:02:19 PM    znelson72   Posts: 8 Joined: 7/9/2007 Status: offline i was just wondering if the air/fuel mixture screws on the outside carbs were connected to the inside carbs or if they have their own? i was told to turn them a couple turns, and i could only see them on the outside carbs, and couldnt see any on the inside ones or see if they were connected or anything. i at least hope im looking at the right screws! im new to the hurricane hehe Post #: 1

Flatten the end & file it to shape. The screws are not tight So damage is unlikely but if you don't know what you are doing with the screws  "don't touch". (in reply to malbojah) Post #: 4
