needle setting

Post by bmccaffry »

Does the needle setting. Only effect idle flow? Running BBK with stock carb and 110 main with needle on bottom groove. Nasty hesitation on takeoff then smooths out. Would raising needle help takeoff but hurt temp at wot?

try the middle groove or play around and see which notch gives the best performance it shouldn't make your temps go up at all it just gives more fuel at lower throttle positions so it will give better take off/throttle response
