check the float level & idle mixture screws

you know which one is idle mixture?

[Ghoste]

I'll try and find a drawing to scan in but on your q-jet, the idle mixture screws should be on the front of the baseplate on each of the front corners.  They may be covered by a limiter cap.  It's one of those easier to show than describe things.

my dad busted one of the caps off the screw on the drivers side of the carb.  Dont know which screw it is though

[Ghoste]

If it's on the baseplate over on the corner, it's one of the mixture screws.  There should be another one on the other side.
