hey its me yeah the idle is the screw that sticks out and has a spring on it that you can see and its more in the middle of the carb, the fuel mixture screw is the 1 all the way to the left that dont stick out, the feul mixture screw should be around 1.5 turns thats what ive heard from some one

Air screw factory setting is 1 1/8, oil is listed as 27oz of 10w40. Those little trikes are a blast aren't they!
