Dellorto air mix screw adjusting

mine fell out so im kinda screwed for now but my question is i was told all the way in is lean and all the way out is rich. Im a little confused because if its in all the way wouldn't that restrict the air therfore making the mix rich or what?

Re: Dellorto air mix screw adjusting

on the 14/12 etc the screw just raises and lowers the throttle slide a little to adjust the idle. in means higher idle, out means lower idle.

i have a 19mm phbg cable choke the idle screw is fine im talking about the other much smaller brass screw that i was told is the air mixture screw im trying to get a confirmation of wich way is less air and more air

Re: Dellorto air mix screw adjusting

Out is more air AND richer. The air is just a small amount that 'bubbles' gas up through a small channel. Less air means less bubbling up of gas and leaner. Almost all gasoline carburettors use this technique in the idle circuit

ok thanks, just weird i figured more air is gonna lean out the mix but clear now

Re: Dellorto air mix screw adjusting

so let me get this right in my mind.....

Screw the idle screw in for a higher idle speed and to make it leaner?

screw the idle screw out for lower idle speed and richer?

Re: Dellorto air mix screw adjusting

No not talking about idle screw. I'm talking about the air mixture screw on a dellorto phbg
