Hi Guys.I have just been given a 7.5 hp blue band which seems to be in very good nick, but the carb was in bits and I am not sure which way the throttle butterfly needs to be fitted to its spindle. Do I fit the butterfly so its holes are next to the slow running jets ? Also any idea how many turns out the air screw should be.

Yes, holes to the low speeds, 1 1/2 turns out
