Here you go, they are in Canada and they take money orderno paypal,no ebay,guess i shoulda mentioned ebay on my first comment.
i'm still looking.
Nah...
Copper strand in the jet ain't gonna cut it...
Sry.
Fax is fax.
Better to set it up lean for the low flats and it will come around on the climb.
Just don't burn it up down low!

Actually, it would not be too difficult to loosen the carb clamp, rotate the body, drop the bowl and exchange the main jet... for the thin run...
Basic facts are you're gonna lose 10% hp per 1,000ft asl anyway.
That's why aircraft run superchargers.
Starting with <2hp, there ain't much going on from the gate! :
Best

Just to let everyone know, thin copper wires inserted into carb jets is a very common practice,especially in motorcycle racing.....No, ilikeabikea, I have NOT tried sticking a wire in a cns main jet.
but I DID solder the jet closed, then drilled it out using a 0.0292" drill bit, which is no. 69 fine wire size... tiny little thing !
I don't even know where I could GET wire much smaller than that which wouldn't just kinda break off and get digested in the engine!
But I'd like to know how it works out for you when you get the chance to give it a try!
Good luck to you!

On the idle and mix screws... The idle screw just holds the slide open a little bit, so it is essentially doing the same thing as holding the throttle a little. No voodoo here in the adjustment, just set the idle speed screw to where your engine idles best. I set my idle really low cause my motor never stalls, if you have stalling issues you might tick the idle up a bit. (its a good idea to hold the throttle open a bit when turning the idle screw so you don't scar the slide, as the slide is sitting right on that screw when the throttle is released) As for the second screw, the air/mix adjustment (the one that was covered over), what I do is screw it all the way in and then back it out about 1 turn, then while the motor is idling adjust the mix screw to where your motor idles at the highest speed. Make small turns when doing this and give the motor a second to respond to the change.I'm a little confused about the idle mixture screw. I have it all uncovered. I just don't know if I'm using it correctly. What's the word on how to adjust this one?
One more thing When we talk about a float adjustment. What piece do we bend? What direction does what? And got any pics?
