Idle Mixture Setting

Honda Al:
Hi all,

Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, but what is the adjustment setting for a CB500 K1?

I've read two pieces of information -

1. 1 turn + 1/8
2. 1 1/2 to 2 turns.

Anybody found one better than the other?

Thanks, Alan

Original air-filter/box?
Which jet size?

Original air filter and box. Not sure about the jet size - assuming standard?? I've not changed it.

deltarider:
What source says 1 1/2 to 2 turns?
1 turn +/- 1/8 is official but for some reason the yanks have different.

 pilot jet   40

main jet    100

 airscrew   1  plus/minus 1/8

BUT after a Cruzimage rebuild kit,seems to be better at 1 1/4 airscrew,suggest you start at 1 turn,then adjust by 1/8 and see
how it goes
