Carburetor air screw richer mixture

Post by Laurenz_KDX200 »

Hi,

Are you wanting to run more oil than normal? If so, it is not needed.

Better to be rich than lean during break in. Just make sure it will idle and ride it. After 10 minutes of running/riding you can set your sir screw just like you normally would.

Turning the screw in, or clockwise, is makes it richer.
