Carb mixture screw

[joop200789]

can any tell what it does when you turn the screw clockwise, and unclockwise, because i cant remenber to save my life,

and also roughly how many turns is it on a rs125

hope that makes sense

cheers

If we're on about the mixture screw as apposed to the idle screw then it's going to alter the amount of fuel:Air being taken into the carb.

I believe increased turns out (anticlockwise) will increase fuelling resulting in a richer mix and turns in (clockwise will lean off the mix) decreasing fuelling.

Or perhaps it's allowing less air in when unscrewed and more air in when screwed in although i think my first answer was right.

It controls an air bleed so Mr. Chives is correct, in for rich and out for lean.

Depends on carb design

hi,
depends on whether its the 28mm or 34mm carb.
one has an air adjust screw, t'other has a mixture adjust screw
