David installs the air box and the fuel tank before he tightens the carburetor clamps. He does this so that he can rotate the carburetor in order to provide operating clearance for the choke lever.

External Carburetor Adjustments
There are 2 screws that allow you to make adjustments to the carburetor, the one on the right is the idle adjustment screw and the one on the left is the “GAS” screw.
Turning the idle screw in (clockwise), increases the idle speed, turning it out decreases the idle speed.
Turning the “GAS” screw out (counter clockwise) makes the idle mixture richer and turning it in makes it leaner.

Tighten all the bolts, connect the fuel lines, install the rear fender and the bike is ready to be test ridden.
