When adjusting the Pilots, am I remembering right: screwed in is a richer mixture, screwed out is leaner?!?!  Or am I bass ackward? Wouldn't surprise me if I am.  :uglystupid2:

I need to know before my son-in-law visits with bike in tow.  ;)

Most are set at 1.75 turns and setting them at 2.25 works 'more better'. That is a bit richer than originally set on 35s. 38s I guess tend to work best at 1.5 to 1.75 turns.

The way I remember is lean in and reach (rich)out.

Hey, I like that Dave, I can now remember just using that little ditty. As I get older I'm finding that metal isn't the only thing that gets rusty.  ;D
