Question
how to set the screws on a 6hp tecumseh

Answer
Hiya Todd-
On these engines, there are two adjustments.  On the bottom of the bowl is the high speed adjustment screw, on the side of the carburator is the idle mixture screw.  Initial settings are as follows.
High speed screw- fully in (gently) then out 1 3/4 turns
Idle mixture - fully in then out 1 1/4 turns
I gotta fly out of town for a week on business-
Best Of Luck!
