Carb adjustment for altitude By davec (Read 611 times)

[davec]

So, i finally retired and moved back to Denver.
I took the trike (260/300 Linhai) out for a ride before the 0 degree weather hit, and it ran fine, with the exception of it seemed to idle a little low.
I know it can be a combination of A/F adj and idle
Question, once i find the A/F adj screw,do I screw it IN or OUT?
Meaning, I forgot if IN was lean and OUT rich, or the opposite.

Other than that, the trike runs great, 64 (indicated), keeps up fine with traffic, accelerates fine up hill, get a lot of looks, thumbs up, stares, 'i wanna ride', is that?

Got a few scratches during the move, but nothing serious
Just got nothing bad to say about this trike.
I'm keeping it for (in town errands) as long as i can ride.
(Looking at a Goldwing w/sidecar for cross country trips)

Life is good
Hope all had a great Veterans Day
Ride safe
Stay warm (3 degrees today, 19 tomorrow, record low's) that dern global warming thing I guess.

less air means you need less fuel,,,now a diaphragm carb can adjust for altitude to a point i personally think you need to downsize main and pilot jet,,,,nice in Denver ,,,been there a few times,,, Global warming,,,a gigantic lie if ever one was told

I was able to adjust my 1100 honda shadow sabre (when i was on two - wheels [and legs I guess too] enuf to compensate for the thinner air

I just forgot if turning the A/F screw IN or OUT made the proper mixture
(short of rejetting)

Thanx

Turning the fuel ratio mixture screw Clockwise LEANS it(LESS FUEL), Counter Clockwise RICHENs it(MORE FUEL).
