upper carb settings or the HSN (high speed needle) used to tune your motor from about 1/4 throttle on up to full throttle the needle right next to the fuel inlet on your carb. always tune this needle first

Lower carb settings or the LSN(low speed needle) used to tune the engine for idle and take off power so when you punch it from a stand still it takes off instead of bogging down. located in the carb barrell (the piece that slides back and forth) always tune this needle last


shims are whats under cooling head (think of them as head gaskets like on a car)

cb = clutch bell
