WARNING: NOOB QUESTION How to know when the fuel screw is all the way in.

    wondering how to know when my fuel screw is "all the way in"

    It seems like it gets harder and harder to screw in, but it doesn't "stop"

    Also I have not tried to screw it in once it gets difficult to turn because I don't want to break it.

    can someone help me understand when the screw is all the way in? then I can measure how many turns out I do.

    Thanks,

    NOOB

    It sounds like your feeling the spring compress under the fuel screw. You might count the turn out and remove, Inspect the threads for galling. My guess is you are very close to bottoming. But I don't want to see you strip that thing out. You could also count the turn back in with out the spring for reference. Good luck and report back. TW

    Sounds like something may be wrong. I've seen 2 different new aftermarket fuel screws with the threads messed up so you may want to put the original fuel screw in to experiment "how it feels" when the fuel screw snugs up - you can do that with the carb rotated and use a regular screw driver.

    And/or you may want to take the fuel screw out and be sure the spring washer & oring are in the correct order as shown in the video that I posted.

    Should go in fairly easy then snug up significantly.
