Bulletins

We have recently discovered that the latest batches of EVO 58cc engines have arrived with a carb assembly that requires a slightly different base-line hi-speed needle valve setting than is called for in the instruction manual.

For best results, are recommended baseline settings for both the Hi-Speed and Low-Speed Needle Valves on the Carb of the 58cc engine is 1-3/4 turn open from a fully closed position.
