does anyone have good starting points for both the idle mixture and idle screw? i.e. number of turns out from closed. screws were all akimbo from the prior owner adjusting them. thanks !

Also, up in the FAQ (if you have a Nikki) there's https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...hreadid=310927

Or do a search. Oh wait, you've only been in this forum for 3 years. You probably haven't heard about the search button.

The FSM carb manual doesn't really help. I would personally like to know what is considered a turn? A full 360* or just 180*? This is stuff that should be addressed in simple terms for new members and re-archived

you want to go 1 1/2 turns out... that would be 3 180 turns.... all tho that is only a rule of thumb to get you close. you will have to do more or less till you get it spot on

One turn would equal one "complete" turn (360 degrees). This will get you started, then there are methods of fine tuning beyond that. Sterling had a very thorough write-up on the procedure, which I believe can be found in the FAQ section.

i read those faqqs and just wanted a basic starting point which i didnt see in the faq or a search. see wasnt hard to say "go 3 turns out" thanks guys!

I can see how you might have missed it in the FAQ. It was hidden under the obscure title of "How to tune a carb".

^ lmao. Plus Duble Durty already gave the link to that thread in the above post. In all fairness the FAQ question is the even more obscure "How to adjust the idle on a nikki carb" I didn't want to say anything...
