Hi i just need a quick answer to this question, as my manual does not say and i cant seem to find an answer online. My keeway zahara scooter has the same Carb gy6 (as far as i can tell) pictured below. Now if i want to lean the mix, do i turn the screw counter clockwise or clockwise? and is it a air screw or a fuel screw? Ive read online that if the screw is on the same side of the airbox, it is a air screw? If so i assume that counter clockwise would lean the mix and clockwise would make it rich.  |

Thank you. I have had so much conflicting advise online, and everything pointed to counter clockwise for leaning it.
My scooter is running rich, and i didn't want to make an adjustment until i had the correct advise.
Ill be turning it clockwise tomorrow. Cheers.

The confusion comes from the position. If the screw is near the intake manifold like the picture, you turn it clockwise to lean it out. If the screw is on the air filter side, you turn it counter clockwise to lean it out.

I totally agree, the position is quite confusing. But my screw is just like the picture, so clockwise to lean it is.
Hopefully when I make it more lean it will cure my starting/stalling issues I have and I might get my scooter running smoothly eventually haha!
This whole thing threw me off a bit, as I read and spoke to people who says new scooters from the factory are set up very lean. So not sure why mine is rich.

Your question makes me think this very good tutorial on how to tune your carb. might be of interest: itistheride.boards.net/thread/148/alleys-general-carb-adjustment-guide |

Yes someone posted the same link earlier on, and I'm going to use this when I set it up tomorrow. It's a great guide.
