AboutJohn Expertise I specialize in two cycle questions and repair, specifically
chainsaws. But have worked on Outdoor Power Equipment for 18 years.
So lawn mower/small engines are also what I work on everyday. Being
in KY, snowblowers are very rare, so their drive systems I am not familiar with. Electrical work on Generators is something I do
not get into either, as I have no training in that area.
Also, I have little experience with boat motors, mini bikes, 4 wheelers, motorcycles, etc.
Experience I have worked in the Outdoor Equipment Industry since 1990,
and have been active giving online help to do-it-yourself types
since 2000, and also am skilled in parts lookup help as well. When
working at larger dealerships, I have always filled the "Two Cycle
Man" position, as it is an area that can be tricky to diagnose and repair.

Question How many turns from closed do I turn the high and low side on the carb and which one is the high and low?
Answer On older 2 cycle equipment, the general rule was 1 full turn out on each, but it wasn't universal, and the newer models, the adj.
screws are more exact, and a unit may have 2-4 turns out with the limiter caps removed, so I cannot give you a decent response without
knowing what you have.
the farthest adj. screw from the engine is the high speed adj.
