Trying to setup my carb only can find the need to set the rpm can't find the needle to set the fuel as it's running rich? I have a YouTube Video maybe it will help show what carb I am running because I am not sure.. Thanks

Nice video....super little car 

 

Jet (mixture adjusting nut) is directly underneath the main body of the carb. Looking at it from the bottom of the car, turning the nut clockwise (anticlockwise looking from the top) will weaken the mixture.

Not really sure what you are asking?
If you are happy that the timing is set correctly on the dizzy then you just adjust the screw that goes down onto the rocker that accelerator cable is attached to make the revs rise or fall. If it's too rich then the mixture screw is down to the back left of your carb that looks like hif44 to me.
If you want to find the needle you take off the 'pot' by undoing the three screws and lift out the piston, which may or may not be attached and the needle is under that.

Thank you that's what I was asking

Scoop77 is right though.

You have an HIF carb.

The mixture screw is on the side not a nut underneath.

Looks like an HIF carb to me. in which case the Captain is wrong and Blitzman is right.
