It wont idle and is has no lower power at all. And now I am having trouble getting it started. I have been messing with it for the past two days, I am about to give up.

This is my first blaster so I'm new to this. Which one is the air screw ?

 

[ford88mustang]

Does it madder which way I put the reeds in ?

 

[brandoz28]

the air screw is the one next to the fuel inlet. you should screw it all the way in, and then back out 1.5 turns. no, it doesn't matter what way the reeds go in, but they DO need to be completely sealed when sitting there, absolutely NO gaps. if they aren't sealed, just take them off and flip them over

Thanks a lot dude. I'm going to try that now. Can you tell what the screw on the other side of the carb does ?

 

[brandoz28]

on the other side? do you have a picture of the carb?

 

[chichi]

it could be idle

 

[MrJslade]

Always a good idea to check compresion. Fresh spark plug and gas?

 

[ford88mustang]

I adjust the air screw and its still running the same. Where is the idle screw at ?

Good idea this was my first top end. So I could have done something wrong.

on top of the tors unit, you have to take off the seat to get to it
