Thanks for all the help!  I did not have that manual so hopefully it will have the air and idle screw settings.  Thanks for the information and encouragement.

I have the original air box but it has a newer filter (not paper).  I have not done any upgrades, to be honest, I don't know much on the bikes history.  I have not set the timing and my head hurt from you just talking about it!  I can't find any good videos or a manual with good pictures to properly understand it.  Thanks for the reply!

I am new to 2 strokes and picked up a 1977 RD400 last year so apologize.  I got it running yesterday but I have some questions about the carb settings.  Can anyone tell me what the starting point is for the air and idle screws (how many turns out).  I have no idea what size the jets are but it has DG pipes if it makes a difference.  I appreciate any help.  I checked some manuals but  I couldn't find any settings.  I just got it running and don't want to blow it up.  Thanks.
