Default Rio 51 carb settings

Hi guys,just a quick question.A friend of mine is doing the review on this boat for the U.K magazines and I am helping him in the process.We took the boat up the lake at the weekend,but it will not run for more than a couple of seconds at a time.We are getting fuel and a good spark.It tries to fire each time it is pulled,but will not run constantly.What carb settings are you running it on using the stock motor? Currently it is set on manufactures settings.Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards
OMRA

Give them a half turn more out and see what it will do if you didn't move them. If you did move them you can start with low 1 1/2 turns out high 2 turns out.

In my experience, the stock settings are too rich. I think I'm currently running at just over 1 turn out on the HSN and about 1 3/4 turns out on the LSN.
