Default walbro 167 base tuning

Does anyone know the best place to start with for the high and low needles to tuning a walbro 167 for a 25cc weedy motor. I just got mine in and i want it on and running. Thanks

1 1/2 turns out on each one. that should be a good starting point. you will probably finish out a t 1 1/4 turns but start at 1 1/2.

Finally got around to putting on the new carb and tuning it. It is a little ghetto rigged right now but it all works. I am going to redo the throttle linkage and clean everythng up so that she looks nice soon. I need to get her on the lake so that i can see the differnce. She already sounds better and revs alot quicker and harder. I was able to keep the original air box by modding it a little so that i can keep water out when running and also to take advantage of the choke and also to keep the on/off switch.
