Setting the fuel mixture strength

Post by filthychimp03 »

i've been trying to work out how to strengthen the fuel mixture on my carbs or wherever, but i can't seem to find the right screw, apparently there is a fuel strength screw but i don't know where it is...can someone tell me??

If yours is still fitted with Zenith CD 175 carbs then you'll need this:

You unscrew the dashpot cap at the top of the carb, stick in the tool and engage it on the raised blade, make sure the top of the tool is engaged in the diaphragm tube keyway, hold it steady and turn! and don't forget to top up the dashpots with oil afterwards.

A Gunsons CarBalancer is also useful to get the carbs balanced up.
