Touch it, and it takes a good ear and tuning knowledge to get it back on track. Had the middle setting loosen itself on one recently, after 4 tanks use. The only reason I knew it had shifted was I marked it from new, only 1/4 of a turn outwards, and the whole tunning went out the window. A new commer would still be trying to tune it I think.
Love me go's, but have to admit, the Zillas hold tune better, run hard, very responsive,and the"FINGER FEEDBACK" from the engine has to be tried to be belived.
Keep up the good work MR M.
That's the trick with 3 needle carbs, Mark the mid range setting when new before you even run it, so know where it was set.
I'll stick with my MG66 carbs, but that's just me, just one less thing that can go wrong on race day
