How to Adjust a Roketa Carburetor

Designed for use with scooters, all-terrain vehicles, go-karts and other small machines, the Roketa carburetor is a single-barrel model that has just one idle adjustment screw. The rpm level depends on the size of the engine, and you can make the needed adjustments to the carburetor with a screwdriver and a vacuum gauge. The Roketa carburetor is manufactured in China, and is a simple device that you can regulate yourself without too much trouble.

      Turn the idle mixture adjustment screw counterclockwise until the vacuum gauge is reading about 1900 rpm for the 50-cc engine or about 1400 rpm for the 150-cc engine. Adjust the screw until you reach the maximum idle speed with the engine running smoothly.
