If it runs ok, and the ones I've changed before did, I won't touch it. For one that doesn't run well, I screw it in till it just bottoms, back out 1 1/4 turn, fire it up and slowly back out till it runs better. If it doesn't get better, I turn it back in till it does. When the mix screw doesn't help, there's another problem. The carb I just got has two mix screws, high speed and low. Low is pretty much just for idle, usually you run a snow blower or lawn mower wide open or at idle. A lot of the Amazon carbs don't have any mix adjustment, when (and it's when, not if) they get run problems, you get another cheap carb. Don't remember if I got 2 or 3 years out of this one. It didn't have a mix screw, thought I'd spend more for this next one and see if I can make it last longer. Not for the price, but just so hopefully it will go longer without having to wrench a replacement.
