Step 2:

Begin by turning the idle air mixture screw left by 1 and a half turns to adjust it to the factory setting.

Next, starting from this position, gradually turn the screw a quarter turn to the right, pausing each time to check if the engine RPM decreases.

​

Once you observe a decrease in engine RPM, take note of this point.

​

Then, turn the adjustment screw to the left until the RPM begins to stumble or become irregular.

​

Finally, set the adjuster screw between these two points where the engine stumbles or the RPM starts to decrease.

​

For example :

At one turn, you'll notice the engine RPM starting to decrease. By two turns, the RPM begins to get irregular. At two and a half turns, that's the sweet spot where the idle mixture screw should be set.
