How to adjust the pilot screw on a Yamaha Raptor 50?
Count the number of turns it took to seat the screw and write it down in your Raptor 50’s owner’s manual for future reference; this is the factory pilot screw setting. Turn the pilot screw counterclockwise the same number of turns needed to seat the screw.
What’s the correct way to turn the pilot screw?
Turn the pilot screw clockwise a quarter turn at a time until the engine idle speed increases. If the engine idle speed does not increase, reset the pilot screw, then turn the screw counterclockwise until the engine idle speed increases. Do not turn the screw more than three counterclockwise turns.
How do you change air screw on Yamaha outboard?
A lean stumble to be exact. Removing that cap, accessing the singe air screw (for a single throat carb), opening or richening that air screw, fattened up the idle mixture just enough (most of the time) to remove that stumble. Really bad cases, the idle jet needed replacement to one slightly richer..
Where are the air screws on a Olds 442?
In your other post re the Olds 442 carb with the mechainical secondaries (like a GM Quadrajet), at the front base of that carb had two idle air adjustment screws. The Quadrajet had main jets, secondary jets that the butterfly needles inserted.

How does the pilot screw adjustment carburetor work?
Pilot Screw Adjustment Carburetors control the amount of air and fuel entering the engine to provide the correct mixture for combustion. To do this over a wide operating range, multiple fuel circuits are employed. At idle and low throttle openings the pilot, or slow fuel circuit, plays the most important role in fueling.
Where is the idle mixture adjustment screw located?
If the idle mixture adjustment screw is located behind the carbs slide tower (airbox side) then the adjusting needle regulates air flow into a fixed flow of fuel intended for idle. By turning this screw inward you are reducing the air flow, thus richening the idle mixture.
