    HI,
    sorry abt that air screw.....ok cool....i tuned from scratch as paul told and got the peak rpm at approx 4 full turns....gotta check my mileage now...hope for something good.....

    I suggest you forget the 'x no. of turns' and start from scratch as per paul's post to tune the carb. tuning a carb is learnt by experience
    Or write to honda and get the mileage checked using that '100ml' bottle from the ASC ( you might want to minus half a km from that figure ) so if you get 4km/100ml it would be safe to assume its 3.5km/100 = 35kmpl.
    And i hope your clutch plates are in good condition.
    air pressure is correct... and i tuned from scratch...i got the peak rpm at 4 turns approx....let me check my mileage this time...lets see...

    i calculated the mileage from reserve to reserve... like note reserve reading, fuel , drive till it hits reserve again....
    im doing this from past a week.... avg mileage is around 40...
    I infact tuned it from honda service ppl.... even after that it dint work....
    Im fed up goin to honda regarding this.... they are not knowledable and its of no use.
    can i know the approx turns when the air screw fully closed for stunner?

    me getting good mileage with 3.75 turns. its neither rich nor lean, its kinda optimal. most mechanics down here used to set it at 3.5 turns. its little on the leaner side, makes my bike overheat on highways.. when (my) engine gets too hot it gives knocking (pinging) kinda sound when ridden below 3k rpm.
    but i set my bike to exact 3.75...but my mileage is less than 40....
    gotta tune again as paul said

    Air screw should be adjust when the engine is warm.
    Drive it for 5-10 mins to make it warm and stand the bike on main stand and increase the rpm to upto 2500 or 3000
    now close the air screw, as u close the rpm will start decreasing.
    When u completely close the screw, start opening it and u'll notice the rpm is increasing
    now keep rotating it slowly until u reach the highest (peak) rpm (this is the correct AFR)
    Leave the screw there, if u open it more the rpm will decrease and will make the mixture lean.
    So adjust it as i've told u and u'll get the maximum mileage out of it.

    i tuned as u told me to do....ya (360 degree is a full turn)...i kept it at exactly 3.75 wen fully closed...
    my spark plug and air filter are new....(honda air filter), ngk g power spark plug....im getting a low mileage now...
    shall i keep it at 3.25?
    i think 3.75 is rich

    the service mechanics have messed up my air-screw tuning due to which my mileage and pickup is too low...


    please help on how many turns should i keep the air screw at when i have fully closed it....currently mine is at 2 full turns from fully closed...i get 40 kmpl with this tuning and a very low pick up....

    pls tel me the optimal no of turns when the air screw is fully closed....

    thanks and regards,
    Akash

    Did you got its spark plug replaced?
    As we talked, try with 3.75 full turns of fuel screw. Note: 360 degree turn = 1 turn.

    1. How did you calculate your mileage ? 40 is low, you should get around 50ish..
    2. Can you remove the spark plug & let us know the color of the electrode? (black/dark brown/whitish)
    3. Try fuel from another bunk & also maintain the recommended air pressure in the tyres.
    3. Can you go to another service center & ask them to tune the carb ? Or speak to the service supervisor and try to get someone good at setting the carb up do it for you.
    4. If you still can't get them to fix this up, i suggest you write to honda ([email protected] & [email protected]) - you will get a call in 24-48hrs.
    5. Can you locate a reliable mech in your area ? ask around and look for workshops..
    If you want a DIY... then AntzBin had a carb tuning DIY in his signature earlier...that's how its supposed to be done.. if he can post the link to it here

    Air Screw Tuning will take you like a couple of days to tune up if you are doing it yourself..Increase ur idle RPM, adjst d screw..keep on doing it....

    Go to a nice mechanic who playz around wid bikes well..

    Suggestions given here wont suffice fully..Anywys tke care..n gud luk wid ur repairs..

    Kindly do not give such 'replies'/'advice' ! if you can explain the procedure to tune a carb it would be helpful.
    do not tune a carb using your mobile :-)
