Stock Carb Settings

Whenever you do a carburetor rebuild, it’s very important to set the carburetor back to factory
spec.

To check the pop‐off pressure, you will need a pop‐off pressure gauge capable of registering up
to 100 P.S.I. First, wet the needle & seat assembly with WD‐40 or gas. Then place the pump hose
on the fuel inlet and cap off the fuel return fitting and pulse fitting on carb. Next, pump until the
pressure unseats the needle. Re‐pump a few times to verify what point the pressure holds at.
It’s important that each carb is as close as possible to all the other carbs on the craft. If pressure
is too high on a particular carb, you can lower it by snipping parts of the spring coils. Simply
remove the spring and start by cutting ½ a coil at a time and then re‐testing. If you need to
increase pressure use a heavier spring but never stretch a spring.

Refer to the below diagram to locate the low and high‐speed adjusters on your carb:
