1.5 turns from lightly seated will get you started fine tune from there.

Then adjust it in the water, motor warm and in gear.
​The rpm's need to be 750-800 in gear.

what i'm finding out that no matter what I do or how I adjust the carb she floods out. It will run great one time then the next she floods. I can't seem to get the float/needle to seal when the carb is pressurized by the fuel pump. I've had this carb off and apart 5 or 6 times now. beginning to wonder if someone has mixed parts from different carbs or something.

Pics of the carbs insides??
​Pic of the needle and inside the seat.
How are you setting the float??

Take the pump apart and see if the diaphragm is OK??
