Help is needed Just bought a 1986 742 with ford 1.6l engine Zenith carb. I'm looking for the basic setting for the mixture screw and power screw. How many turns out to start with. Just rebiuld the carb. Thanks Scott
 
I looked in the Bobcat service manual for the settings but it wasn't in there. I then looked in my Ford tractor manual and it says 1-1 1/4 turns for the power and 1 turn for the idle and then do the start it and do the adjustments.
Idle mixture turn in till engine begins to run rough and back out to smooth idle.
Adjust Idle speed 850-950 rpms from the Bobcat manual
Adjust the main needle at full throttle turn in till speeds starts to drop and then out til runs smooth.
