Mix adjustment on carb not working - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

Hey all, I just bought this yesterday and its not running perfect... It seems like it needs more fuel ( it runs well with choke half up). It seems like the mix adjustment screw on the carb is not working. I can turn it all the way in or 5 full turns out and it does not seem to change a thing. I did also take the carb and give it a little cleaning and it did not seem to make any difference. Ideas? Thanks!

welcome to the forum
i think that the carb needs to be taken off and compleatly cleaned (by you or your mechanic) if you do it yourself look at this thred ....it realy works good

carb needs a complete, thorough cleaning. no need for choke to make it run.
