    Initial setting is 17.5mm. Then, do your wet setting after that

    Thanks again Hogfiddles, got inpatient and got them set @16mm, My Maxim X manual did say 17.5mm, but i doubted that was right for the air-head has a hitachi and also the X specs for the fuel level in the bowl was 3mm, and i did find the specs on mine and it was only 1mm, so i was sure the float would be different. Either way 16mm gave me exactly the 1mm fuel level. Just to let u know this was my 1st total carb rebuild and i learned a ton of info, unfortunatley it was mostly after i already F=up !!! But i did learn real good that way, LOL

    The only way to learn is to make mistakes.
