This is to double check, I heard that 2.0 turns out was the "initial" setting for the needles. Can anyone verify this?

Bought her three months ago and had to clean the carbs. Dirtier than all-get-out.

Non-emissions 78s spec was to turn the pilot screws 1 1/4 +/- 1/4 turn from lightly seated. The emissions 78 1/2 models showed the pilot screws lightly seated with no turns out. Not sure how well that worked bwhahaha
