Roughhouse Mixture Screw Access

OldGuy · Post by **OldGuy** » Fri Sep 20, 2013 4:51 am

I want to tweak the mixture a tad on my 2012 Roughhouse. I assumed the mixture screw is under the epoxy blob just left of the black plastic idle adjust knob.

I chipped the epoxy blob away and found what looks like a brass plug. Before I go further... Is there a brass plug also, with the adjustment under that? And if so, what is the popular method for removing the plug?

Thanks!

On my R50 what I thought was a brass cap was the top of the mixture screw. It was smooth on top. It actually came out easy on mine. Using some very fine needle pliers I applied light pressure and it spun right out. I cut a slot with a dremel.

i went the more brutish route and just whacked it with a hammer and Flathead screwdriver.worked for me but the dremel is probably a better idea.

Thanks theemptythrone and lovemysan. I hope to find time to dremel or hammer this weekend. I appreciate the info! I need to lean it just a little, and it will be great.

Thanks again!
