throttle needle adjustment

Razo Wolf · 01-14-2005

on the gold needle in the carb which way is rich and which way is lean
closer to the pointed part?.... closer to the blunted end?

blunt=lean, point=rich

ok cool thanx man i read a thread that said the exact opposite
it said closer to the ponted end is leanest which doesnt sound right since when
you open the throttle the needle goes up.

(1-closest to the pointy part of the needle (bottom) is leanest which means lest fuel in the fuel:air ratio, 5-Closest to blunt end (top) is the richest, which means more fuel in the fuel:air ratio.)

it states the one closest to the bottom of the needle is the leanest

some people say moving the clip up is going toward the point and some people say its the opposite. From now on I will just say move towards point etc like slopro explained it.
