"idle air mixture screw, find

"idle air mixture screw, find it on the carb, wind it in fully then 2.5 turns out anticlockwise and see how it goes, if it stalls or runs rougher wind it in half a turn, if u get to 1.5 turns back in and it is still running rough and it hasnt changed the sound or smoothness of the engine you may need to remove the carb as it may have blocked slow idle jet and needs attention."
