Do anyone knows how to setup these carbs (instruction sheet or simply brain power)? When it was rebuilt, the shop told me to adjust the idle and whatever else; I don't remember what they told me.
I also don't know what are the rich and the lean sides on the mixture control. Plus; not being used to fly an engine with mixture... do we pull the knob to get leaner or reacher on the dash board?

Michel,
Common convention is to pull the control on the panel to lean. I have attached a photo of how I attached the control cable to the leaning lever on the carb. Set it up so that the lever is to the "rich" stop when the control handle is fully seated against the stop at the panel. Pulling the control handle fully out will result in idle cut-off.
The idle is adjusted with a spring-tensioned screw on the throttle arm pivot bracket. See photo. It can only be adjusted through experimentation with the engine running. I set the engine running at the proper idle and marked the throttle control rod with a piece of masking tape at the control ferrule. With the engine stopped, I then adjusted the idle screw so that the throttle control would stop at the tape on the rod.
Let me know if you have questions.

Michel,
Common convention is to pull the mixture control on the panel to lean. I have attached a photo of how I attached the control cable to the mixture lever on the carb. Set it up so that the lever is to the "rich" stop when the control handle is fully seated against the stop at the panel. Pulling the control handle fully out will result in idle cut-off.
The idle is adjusted with a spring-tensioned screw on the throttle arm pivot bracket. See photo. It can only be adjusted through experimentation with the engine running. I set the engine running at the proper idle speed and marked the throttle control rod with a piece of masking tape at the control ferrule. With the engine stopped, I then adjusted the idle screw so that the throttle control would stop at the tape on the rod.
Let me know if you have questions.
