Thanks. It started and sounds pretty good at 1 1/2 turns out..Smoking a good bit. Most likely needs rings but I will experiment with 2 turns. Thanks

What kind of special screwdriver do you use to reach the adjustment screw that they tried to make impossible to adjust??

Just a short flat head screwdriver is fine.

1980-82 ... 2 turns out
1983 ... 1 turn
