could you get me some picture with the needles from where you adjust the carb ? or I should go with carb to service tu adjust there ?
from what i hear from the mechanic air it's at maximum but i don't know what thats means

Sounds like somebody is making more than their share of the average income!!!  He is probably referring to the mix screw.  It may be letting the maximum amount of air into the mix.  I doubt a mechanic would mess with trying to raise the needle as I think on your carb it is more of a custom job.  You may just need to adjust the mix screw in a bit.  Usually about 2 turns out from all the way in is about right.  You are looking for a nice responsive 0 - 1/4 quick throttle snap.  Adjust the screw about 1/8 - 1/4 turn at a time from 2 full turns out to get is set right.  Don't set it more than about 1 turn from full in or you may run the risk of running too lean.  The ideal is probably somewhere between 1 1/2 - 3 turns from full in.

ok , but I need to see a picture with that mix screw to be sure I am looking where it should. the only adjusting screw that i know it's the pilot screw ,for idle adjusting from what i understand...

[wordslinger]

...do you have the A50 service manual???

..look in section 5 pages 6-12...


..pilot screw is for adjusting the idle mixture...

..throttle stop screw adjust's idle speed...

..your needle is probably just fine...
