Primary rod depth in jet

(1/1)

65malibu:
Is there a preferred depth to use as a starting point when setting primary needle height? I'm reassembling my #17084226 with 50M needles and #74 jets and was wondering where would be a good bench setting.  Where should the step be located inside the jet when the needle is at its lowest point?

Kenth:
I have found that the APT is set between 3.5 to 4.5 on various units.
4.0 would be a good starting point before the "tip-in" test at 2200 rpm.
Note: the piston starts rising at 2 turns from seated.
