ok guys, here is the updated pics.
first remove the oil fill or gear cover from this location.
u will see this
bring the stud around till it is at the 12 oclock postition like this
find the little triangle cover on the pass side of the pump and remove. dont damage the gasket. a pint or so of fuel will come out. place a rag or 2 under the pump to catch it all. will look like this
inside that hole is the adjusting screw. if the pin on the front of the engine is at 12 oclock, the screw will be visible with a mirror. will look like this.
closer veiw.
turn that screw clockwise to increase fuel. counterclock wise to decrease fuel. screw is a 5/32 allen.
