Im about ready to start my 914 for the first time and break in the motor. I have a set of 40 idfs on there that im guessing are out of adjustment. How many turns out should I set the needles at to get it to fire? I know I have to tune it during break in, but Im just trying to get it to start up now. Hints? Thanks.
Edit: i should have clarified. This is a 2056, dual 40 idfs, raby split duration cam. |

Ahh, okay. Thats what I thought was the "main needle." I see it now though... thanks! (for some reason I thought idle needle was the idle stop... very different, I know. I have 55 idles and 175 a/c jets, just to clarify. I should be starting my engine tomorrow afternoong (hopefully). Thanks for the help! And, is there a difference in application for the short and tall emulsion tube screws? My 912 has "short" (yep, it has webers) and the 914 has "tall". |
