The needle valve on carburetors regulates the mixture for running at high speed while the air valve gives 8 correct mixture at low speeds. The high speed adjustment should be made first. Speed the motor up to somewhere, near its maximum and then screw down on the needle valve until the motor begins to backflre, due to the mixture being too weak
 When this occurs screw up on the nee de valve until the backfirlng ceases. You should now have 8 correct mix ture for high engine speeds, but if, af- ter testing the car out on the road, it is found that it does net develop the power it should. the richness of the mixture may be increased slightly.
