Question about Buddy 50 Carburetor Enrichment Screw

Post by DeeDee »

Hello MB. Can I get some help with a Buddy 50 carb adjustment please? If I tighten the enrichment screw to the right am I making it leaner? Also, if it is full seated, about how many turns to the left should I start with? Thank you in Advance. The screw in the Buddy 50 I just picked up is seated tight.

If it's anything like the 4T engines then screwing it in would richen the mixture. My service manual is pretty light on the 50 2T engine but it does say 1 3/8 to 1 1/2 turns out from closed.
Some people can break a crowbar in a sandbox.
