    Hi Mustie, big fan from the U.K, thanks for all your videos!

    I have a question for you if you wouldn’t mind… when you set up your 34 PICT 3 carbs, what are your go-to bypass screw and volume control screws adjustments for just getting an engine going?

    The majority of answers I have read seem to say 2 and 1/2 turns on each screw out to get started?

    Cheers! Jim
