More work on my pile of scrap 500 bullets. I've got two mikcarbs. Both have had to be totally stripped and ultrasonically cleaned as they were heavily mucked up. Both have been extensively fiddled with.
I've found out which slides, jets and needles to fit but I can't find anything on baseline settings for a standard mikcarb on a standard 500. Specifically the number of turns on the pilot screw (one was 1 3/8 the other was 2 3/4) and the throttle needle circlip position (one was on the bottom groove, which I have never seen used on any carb, the other had fallen off) to give me a starting position to fine-tune from.
