Does this carb have needles for high and low speed mixture adjustment? If not, does anyone know of an equivalent that does?

Carburetors are no longer built with adjustment screws, that is an EPA mandate.

Leanne, Thanks for your interest. I have not adjusted the carb for a while. I have used it to cut wood until quite recently, just became tired of all the annoyances that go along with this saw. I paid as much for a 40 year-old used saw as I paid new for the Poulan so I guess the lesson is you get what you pay for.Karl

if you are running dual carbs you should not need a vacuum advance distributor just get a regular electronic ignition distributor with good centrifical adjustment advance Mallory makes an awesome distributor that is tunable and can be set up for almost anything

I used this on a side draft manifold to run a Virago 250. I had to raise the needle one step (move the clip down) and wound up with a 250 mainjet. I also shortened the spring a little, to ease throttle operation with my "quick" throttle. Be careful doing this with flat slide carbs as the idle tends to hang at high vacuum.

The carb comes with a 170 main jet and a 55 idle jet. I put this on a restored1988 Cr250r . It was a huge improvement. Well worth it. I ended up going up one jet to 172 on the main and 58 on the idle jet. I like my bikes a little rich. Check out pjmotosports.com they sell these carbs prejetted for your year make and model. I prefered to save money and buy it on amazon since I already had some jets laying around. You could do the same if you are confident with jetting your own bike. Or buy one prejetted.

I can't recall if they were included. I bought the carb and it worked great. I then sold it.

I put this carb on a stock 1600 motor and have not had any issues with the jetting.

You will need tools to assess the carbs, and probably a long flat head screw driver to adjust the carbs. The auxillary fuel bottle make the carb sync much easier.

Likewise, you're asking buyers here...I can tell you that this carb comes with "standard" sized needles and jets, which may not work for your bike. When I bought this carb I had to purchase the correct main jet and needle for my specific needs...

I have a ktm 300 and the jets and needle were no where close to mine I think it was a 50 pj, 180 mj don't recall the needle you should just plan on jetting it yourself as most carbs are not jetted to a specific bike.

that doesnt need adjustment,, only air idle screw if you cant adjust the carb it needs cleaned rebuilt or new

Hello, Yes there are adjustments for throttle blade opening, didn't see one for needle position. It is easier to buy this than locate a rebuild kit for the old one. New one fits and works perfectly.

The screw on the left of the carb is the idle mixture screw. The screw at the bottom of the bowl is your main jet, adjust this one first for elevation then adjust the idle.

The carb that I received has a plastic choke lever. The original one (from 1985) was metal. The new one replaced it perfectly.

Need more info , the carb can be used on anything if the fit allows and the tuner knows what he is doing , since out of the box calibration is probably not correct

this model tecumseh (walbro) carburetor has a main jet adjustment (screw at the bottom as seen in pic), and a low speed adjustment on the side. These are very good for keeping an older machine running longer, and compensating for todays bad gasoline
