I have a problem with a defective float needle and I bought a carb repari kit. Everything went OK except I am having trouble adjusing the carb to run without having to have the choke partially open. I see a float needle adj and an adjustment on top of the carb. Anyone have a manual or instruction on the initial carb adjustments?

The float parallel to the carb body...

High and low speed fuel needles... 1.5 turns from all the way in snug... if it doesn't have a screw in the bottom of the float bowls nut, then it has no high speed adjustment... requires cleaning the carb to do any difference then given all else has been checked.
