I want to say you can screw out on the idle adjuster knob to reach the allen head to loosen it, but to get it out I back the throttle lever stop scew out, its on the left side the carb ( opposite side of the throttle cable linkage) theres a locking nut on it. Can't miss it. that will allow you to rotate the slide/gate and linkage up more and out the way enough to reach in there with a set of needle nose pliers.


Make sure to count the turns when you back it out, That way you can go back to the factory setting.

Loosen the allen head, move the black clip to the side, open the throttle wide open and the needle will come up enough for yu to grab it.

Just so I dont go the wrong direction on the Jet needle I want to richen it up so that means I put the C clip one notch down correct. It was on the 3rd on down no is on the 4th

Correct. You are moving the needle up which allows more fuel to move out of the tube therefore you would have to lower the clip.
