Old John B Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 The slow running needle was destryed in a prang. (My fault.) Have bought a new one but cannot find anything written about the number of turns to start with before minor adjustments. Yes I could do it by trial and error but will be quicker if some kind soul has the approximate answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I'd imagine Mick Wilshere's favourite method will work on the bigger Supertigres just as well as the small ones. Put a clean piece of tubing on the fuel nipple. Open the throttle barrell by a 1/16" or so (use a drill or similar to guage it if you like). Open the main needle 2 1/2 turns. Blow through the tube while opening the idle needle slowly from closed until you detect a small but positive flow of air. You now have your initial setting!
