My book says "Preset" which is obviously not the case on the one's I've had apart, cleaned, rebuilt. I looked back a few years till it had one. Is 1 1/2 turns good for a starting point? or ? Thanks!

Got the carbs on tonight. Turn and a half was enough to run but to set properly their probably closer to 2 1/2 to 3 turns out. All I can say is wow what a difference between these and the stock 80 carbs! I'll have to do some plug checks to see how the stock jetting is doing with the pod filters and open drag pipes. So far I'm happy. Need to find a reasonably priced choke lever as MikesXS is out now and the dealer price is double.
