    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I searched, really!

:(
But I cannot find a statement which tells me what I want to know :?
:oops:
On a Mechanical slide carb, does the idle mixture screw control fuel or air?
IN does what?
OUT does what?
:?
I think but I am not sure,
IN increases the amount of fuel
OUT increases the air and decreases the fuel
BECAUSE I think that if I allow more air through the circuit less fuel is sucked up, right?
Please someone explain this to me like I am the idiot I feel like :oops:
 
the quick rule of thumb is, if the adjuster is on the airbox or filter side of the slide, it is an air adjustment, open(CCW) = leaner, if the adjuster is on the engine side of the slide, it is for either just fuel, or for fuel/air overall mixture, open(CCW) = richer
 
On your 83 750 you have CV carbs, right? If so, the screw you speak of is a mixture screw. Turning the screw clockwise leans the mixture, counter-clockwise richens.
 
Thanks you guys, that is exactly what I needed to know. This is for the other bike, the Yammy, the Suzuki is perfect and doesn't need tinkering right now. 8)
