DS FE290 carb
I have a 1997 DS with a FE290. Rebuilt carb, replaced all fuel lines and carb gaskets. Engine boggs and idle does not change when pilot screw is turned all the way in?

Re: DS FE290 carb
from the engine book.
Pilot Screw Adjustment • Slowly turn the pilot screw in the clockwise direction until a slight resistance is felt. • Then, back out the pilot screw two turns counterclockwise (for tentative setting). • Install the air cleaner in the normal manner and warm up the engine by operating it without a load. • Set the speed adjustment lever to the low-speed (idling) position. • Keep the throttle lever on the carburetor pushed gently to the fully closed position, and turn the idle adjustment screw so that the engine attains the idle speed. • Keep the throttle lever pushed to the fully closed position, and turn the pilot screw in and out to find the position in which the idle speed of the engine is at the highest rpm. From that position, back out the pilot screw one-quarter of a turn in the counterclockwise direction. This completes the pilot screw adjustment |

Re: DS FE290 carb
Got most of it fixed, Wire all jet holes and make sure the air filter nozzle is fully connected to choke. Thanks for all the replys!!!!

Number 2 is the idle screw. And all others are fixed jets(non adjustable) |
