Re: carb tuning for a jet ski HELP PLEASE

I used to be a jetski/motorcycle/generator/marine/lawnmower mechanic (heh, the job title was annoying) and I worked on these older kawi's, but that was many many cases of beers ago. If I had the carb infront of me, I could tell you what screw does what, but its nearly impossible to tell just looking at the picture.

A good general rule for any screw adjuster on a carb, whether its air or fuel, 2 turns out is a good start. IE, screw it all teh way in until it seats *lightly!* and then turn it out 2 full turns.

And the best advice I can offer? Get a manual. It'll give way better discriptions on what screw does what than my faded memory could.....
