needle valves are easy if you know the trick....
and that is............
to see how many 1/4 turns it takes before it seats....
on disassembly....
in general though:
when you install a new one you seat the needle
valve (lightly) then turn it loose again 3 1/4 turns and then try it....
it might need a 1/4 turn more or less , but you have to think
in quarter turns
NOT half turns....and be sure to give
the motor a few minutes at each quarter turn setting to adjust
itself and see if it runs happier...
the guy who taught me built his own carburetors....
