It’s a preheating kit, so the intake can pull some of that warmer air off the cylinder.
What's on your bench?

So, on my 242xp issue…
I got to thinking… the carb kits have an inlet valve lever that sits well above he level of the carb body. The Walbro gauge I have lists this type of carb as being level with the top of the carb body. So, I bent the lever down to meet that spec.
I wondered why the kits, however, had levers that were well above that level.
Today I tried setting the lever at level with the body including the gasket. It wasn’t as proud as they came, but…
I got a consistent 14,6 rpm’s at 3/4 turn out on the H screw. It was late so I didn’t push the noise factor with my neighbors. I’ll try going to 1/2 turn and then try using an “as is” lever from another kit and see what happens.
The he plot thickens…
