not hard to tune at all, theres 2 adjustment screws at the base of the front, you'll need a q-jet adjustment tool(which is an inexpensive screwdriver made from a long spring and interchangeable end lol) but i always screwed them all the way in and then backed them off 2-4 rounds each that fixed my bogging down, that and spring the choke with b-12 . not hard to adjust at all.
