Hello All,
Pulled apart the Carb on my 02 GTI 717 (Single Carb w/accel pump) for a quick cleaning. looked like someone had been in there before, so no idea if I can trust where it was set. High speed screw was all the way seated (0 turns) and plastic restrictor cap was on.
That didn’t seem right to me, never adjusted a carb to 0 on the high side. Service manual is no help as it says to just adjust within the limits of the restrictor cap…. Duuhhh… no base adjustment spec for the high side.
Brand new top end, standard bore, stock ski as far as I can tell. Running oil pump with splash of premix for peace of mind. What should I set the high speed mixture screw to as a good baseline?
Also, any break in recommendations for new pistons, cylinders, rotary valve and cover? Thanks in advance, been a long road with this ski, just looking to get the little details right so I don’t burn up the money I just put in.
