Re:Maxair Thumbscrew PMS Adjustment 5 Years, 4 Months ago  
A "heads up" on the MaxAir Thumbscrew .... the threads on this screw are coarser than the standard Mikuni -- about a two to one ratio. For example, if a setting of two turns out would be appropriate for the standard thumbscrew, it would only be one turn out for the MaxAir. A friend of mine bought the MaxAir for some of the same reasons you stated but he wound up going back to the standard thumbscrew because it was easier to adjust and easier to maintain the adjustment. I'm not trying to discourage you but just something else to think about!

Just thought about what I was saying and it's wrong. Threads are the same! Taper of the needle is different and that's where the two to one come in!
