mikuni carb settings?
Hey guys,
I found out my bro screwed all the screws back in tight when he cleaned his carb and that's probably part of why it wouldn't start worth a crap. Does anyone know the factory settings on the air and idle screws for mikuni carbs? thanks!

I would turn them out 1.5 to 2 turns each and start from there. It should run with those settings.
Weld will be able to help more.

That's where I would start.
After it's running, reset the idle to a sane RPM, and then quickly open the throttle, noting if there is a bog or flat spot. If there is, adjust the pilot mixture screw 1/4 turn at a time, ideally not backing it out more than 2 turns. If there is no bog, enjoy.

They seem to have a few in slightly different sizes. thanks!
