How do you turn in a pilot screw?
Lightly seat the fuel/air screw and set to factory settings as a baseline. With engine running at low RPM, turn the screw in clockwise until the engine begins to stumble, then turn the screw counterclockwise until the engine stumbles, noting how many turns in/out both occurred.
Where to set the air fuel mixture screw?
Set the screw in the middle between the rough- and irregular-sounding spots. Turn the screw back clockwise until it is approximately in the middle location between where the engine’s idle sounds irregular and rough. This will set the engine at a regular idle speed.
Can a CARB have both fuel and air screws?
A carb will have an air screw or a fuel screw 99% of the time. There are carb models that have both a fuel and air screw, however I actually have never worked on one in 20+ yrs of wrenching. The Goal What you are after when adjusting this screw, is to reach peak idle RPM and smoothness.
Where is the pilot air screw on an Amal?
A pilot air screw will be located on the air box side, while a fuel screw will be located on the engine side. This is true for most carburetors. I’ve seen the pilot air screw on the engine side on most Amal carburetors. When in doubt, remove the screw and see what kind of tip it has, that will determine what it meters.

Where is the pilot air / fuel screw located?
Where is the pilot air/fuel screw located? Let’s define the carburetor butterfly or slide the dividing line between the air box side, and the engine side. A pilot air screw will be located on the air box side, while a fuel screw will be located on the engine side. This is true for most carburetors.

What are the holes in the Boyesen Quickshot?
One of the more common theories on what the Boyesen QuickShot does has to do with the two holes at the top. This theory suggests that air gets trapped during normal operation. The stocker doesn’t have the ability to purge this trapped air.
Where are the air and fuel screws located on a pilot jet?
Any more than 3 turns out go one size larger on the pilot jet. Fuel screws are towards the front of the carburetor and air screws are toward the rear of the carburetor. 2-2.5 turns out on a fuel screw is proper for Colorado.
What’s the best way to adjust the fuel screw?
With engine running at low RPM, turn the screw in clockwise until the engine begins to stumble, then turn the screw counterclockwise until the engine stumbles, noting how many turns in/out both occurred. Now, adjust between these two settings to achieve highest RPM and smoothest running engine.
