Ed,
Does it say what carb. setup that is for? I recall reading (but I can't
for the life of me remember where) that the 2-4 psi setting is correct.
I recently was having a problem of too much pressure and that resolved
it. I checked briefly in the Haynes book and didn't see anything.
Maybe it was in the notes that came with my carb. rebuild kit. I'll
look further as I get time.
