18 HP Set up?

Hi all

I have an M18E2 and I'm trying to set it up. I have the timing set as per the book so that's ok. However there is nothing in the book on how the carb link is to be set up. Currently the "roller" does not hit the cam until around half way which does'nt look correct to me. Also the idle screw makes little difference to the revs so I think that might be worn.

Any advice would be much appreciated

thanks

Wayne

Typically the roller is set so that the carb is WOT when the throttle is all the way. The screw looks OK; maybe the carb could use a proper cleaning.

thanks for that - at WOT the roller is indeed on the highest part of the cam and the bufferfly is fully open. So I guess its ok then. I will give the carb a clean and try that - thank you
