Mixture screw

Post by Clive »

Hi.
my Morini is being delivered tomorrow evening, so to amuse myself I've been putting together a sort of to-do list as it hasn't been on the road for a number of years.
I'm going to start with an oil and belt change, a thorough clean/check of the carbs, set valve clearances and check the timing.
My question is this - does anyone know the base setting for the idle mixture screw.
I've looked in the manual and done a search on the forum but I couldn't find anything, or perhaps I couldn't see the wood for the trees!
From experience of other Dell 'Orto equipped bikes/scooters I was thinking 1 to 1.5 turns from a light seating.
Am I near?
Thanks.

1.5 is the correct setting to begin with, usually it tends to be 1 1/4 by the time you are finished balancing the carbs :mrgreen:
