Main jet adjustment problems

[68ragtop]

Hi Guys, Finishing up the rebuild on the 92XP & once I find a functioning MPEM it should be ready for its first start up.
I went throught the carbs & found one of the carbs had the main jet "stopper" broken off. Is there anyway to get this adjustment close? I know it should have a 1/4 turn stopper on it, & it doesn't. Hoping there is a way to get it close before starting it.

Any ideas?

Stopper? Not sure what you are talking about.

Your talking about the little black cap that goes ontop of the high speed adjuster?

Yes, sorry for the bad choice of words. The tab that stops it from going more that 1/4 turn is broken off. While I did disassemble the
carbs & clean them out, I didn't touch the adjustments yet. I assume the high speed adjuster is factory set & capped, but wondering if its possible to set it close to were it should be from the factory for a starting point. I haven't fired the new engine yet, but I sure don't wan't to worry about that being too lean, or rich while I am breaking it in. I don't trust where its set seeing I bought this machine with its engine in a box.....

A quick lookup shows a 92 XP with a 587 should be at LOW- 1-1/4 HIGH- 0. So you wouldn't be able to lean it out as the factory setting is all the way in, backing it out will richen it up.

excellent information. I will run it in to start out, or maybe 1/8 turn out & leave it there while I break it in.

First I have to find a working MPEM for this thing.

Thanks for the help!
