I purchasd a "bubble gauge" years ago from NAPA for the soul purpose of adjusting the choke on the Q-J. It has a magnetic base that sticks to the choke butterfly and a adjustable bubble float with a degree plate. It comes with directions. Your carb rebuild kit will list the # degree required. It works perfectly. Can't tell you how much $ it costs, but I'll bet if your going to use it more than once, it's worth it. My gauge is at work, including the box it came in, if you want , I can post the part # and you can contact a NAPA and get a price.

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.
