4RT tick over screw position

Featured Replies

Stripped down the 4RT for a new cam chain etc. and had some starting problems which I thought I'd solved but after a couple of weeks it won't start again. I think I've got the tick over screw in the wrong place because it almost wants to start but won't quite. There is a big blue spark on the plug. 

Where about should the tick over screw be set?

On a carb they say "1 to 1 1/2 turns out" but what about the 4RT EFI. 

First try winding it in or out half a turn from it's current position, if still no go then, try winding the screw right out until it runs out of threads, then wind it back in 10 turns and experiment from this position.

Turn it in (CW) to closed, then open it 3 full turns (CCW). This should get you to a point where it'll start, but it may be a little high on the rpm, so you may have to close a little from there.

Changed the throttle body on my 2015 Repsol and it wouldn’t start. Came back to this thread to reset the tickover screw. Whoop, whoop.
