Re: Honda Ruckus / Scooter Thread

so... I slotted the mixture screw.

spun it and listened for the highest idle...

turns out, my best idle was when it was completely seated! (not good)

took it for 15min run... 0-30 was beastly... then sounded awful. Backed off of it at 42-43mph but it had much more.

Pulled the plug, idle was almost perfect (still slightly rich). But it was super lean at WOT.

I'm thinking the stock pilot jet (35) is where i need to be!

Heath- If your idle was good your pilot jet is perfect. However If you are running lean at WOT you need to go up in main jet.

I thought clockwise was leaner, and counter clockwise was richer?

it was rich all the the way through before.

Now with the screw 2 turns in. The idle is perfect but lean at the top.
