I fixed the compression on my WC and now I'm trying to get it to actually start. I need to get the mixture adjusted to where it will run. Any suggestions?

Will usually start with both adjustments 1 1/2 turn out. MACK

I'm wit' Mack on that. 1 1/2 turns out should get you a starting point and then dial it in as the engine gets up to normal operating range. If it still doesn't start, you have another problem somewhere. Timing, firing order, whatever.....
