Your carburetor has been set from the factory but differences in altitude, temperature and type of fuel can have an effect on the factory setting. The factory carburetor settings for your SuperTigre .34 are: The SuperTigre .

LSN: You want your LSN set so that when the motor is idling it will run for a few minutes without quitting. One way to determine this is to pinch the fuel line with fingers about 1" [25mm] from the carburetor as the engine is running at idle. If the motor stops instantly as you pinch the line, your LSN is set too lean. Turn the needle out 1/2-turn and try again. If your engine slowly picks up speed and after 10 seconds or so quits, you are likely just a tad rich.

We recommend “running in” the engine at full speed for at least 6-8 full tanks of fuel before you adjust it for top performance.
