Posted this on sohc/4 but would be nice to have this info here as well
I tried to dial in my mixture today following the clymer manual and I think I'm an idiot. Can I explain what I think the manual is telling me? It seems like I'm just riching the hell out of my engine and running it hot.

3. Lightly seat pilot screws, 1.5 turns out
7. Set idle to 1050+-50 with idle adj screw
8. Turn each pilot screw out 1/2 turn from step3 setting. (All of them???)
9. If speed increases by 50rpm or more, keep turning out by a half until rpms drop by 50( why would it eventually drop 50rpm if i keep enriching it? Wouldnt i just achieve max idle? again, all four at once? I was doing all four at a time and speed kept increasing and the oil I'm leaking from head really starts smoking so I quit and go back to 1.5turns)
10. Adjust idle screw to 1050rpm (if I'm supposed to be doing Max idle 1 at a time, do I do this after each Max idle Carb adjustment or after all 4 reach Max idle)
11. Turn no.1 pilot screw in(lean) until speed drops 50rpm
12.turn out 1 full turn
13. Adjust idle to 1050
14. Repeat 11-13 for other carbs
