Hello out there!
I'm embarrassed to ask something so simple, but I just couldn't figure it out. The 440 is my first carburetor and US engine...how do I adjust the idle speed? I've only read everywhere "you have to set the idle...", "set the idle to 650-800"...but I couldn't find HOW to do it, either on the internet or in the manual.
Is this simply adjusted via a screw on the throttle cable or via the carburetor?
My engine runs a little too high and I want to lower the idle a bit.
The idle speed went up after I corrected the ignition timing from +5 to ~ -12 BTC.
greetings Manuel
Maybe you can hear it in this video:

There it is running... beautiful
! Sounds like a car should sound. And that's just Y pipe single exhaust. I am planing to buy a 2,5" Dual exhaust from TTi.
