[QUOTE="built, post: 1569811, member: 25600"] knight, mechanics charge for tunning b'cos there are more to just to turning a screw behind the carb. basically, are only 2 elements, initial timing and air-fuel ratio. 1st set your engine to the recommended idling speed. then set the engine timing (initial timing). this can only be seen with a timing light. it look like a laser gun. the timing is mark at the pulley. after your initial timing is set, you have to fine tune the air fuel-ratio until you get your idling to specs. refer to your car manual for the idling speed and the initial timing. air-fuel ratio is usually 14:1 (if i remember correctly). if you do not have knowledge about initial timing (position before or after TDC) and dun own a timing light, forget about tuning the kancil yourself. you'll screw the engine up. you may get better mileage but the car will be under power and stuff like that. or you'll get black smoke from your exhaust b'cos of incomplete combustion. many things can happen. have a nice day.
