Hi Guys,
This is going to be the stupidest question I've ever posted, but I'm sure it will get the quickest answer... When adjusting the idle mixture screws on a Weber, does screwing in = leaner, or out? I don't know why I can't wrap my head around this...or find a simple answer online. The short bus is stopped outside my house. |

2 1/2 out will get you up and running but it'll be too rich, so dont leave them there too long.
As Rhody guy says, wind them in maybe 1/4 turn each (all at the same time initially from the 2 1/2 starting point and see if it still runs ok (should do) Then turn in each slowly (individually) until you hear the cylinder "drop out", then back out maybe 1/8 turn from drop out or until that cylinder fires smoothly. You can get it pretty good using this method, but to be most accurate you'll need a gas analyser to get the CO at between 2.5 & 3%. Another easy check is go for a ride and see what color the tail pipe is. Black= Too Rich. White= Too lean. Mid Gray is good |
