REMOVE TINES BEFORE STARTING ENGINE AND MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

What to Do if Your Engine Idles Too High

What if your engine runs too fast … or if the tines turn the instant you start the Tiller? You may need to adjust the idle screw (Key #19 under Carburetor on page 28) by itself right below the H and L screws. Gently turn it counter- clockwise. You’ll know you’ve adjusted it correctly when the axles do not turn at low idle.

What to Do if Your Engine Runs “Rough”

If your engine runs “rough” or stalls, you may need to adjust the carburetor and idle screws.

If you remove the air-cleaner cover, you’ll see the two carburetor, adjustment screws next to the choke button. (Picture 1)

The “RED” screw is the HIGH-speed adjustment…The “WHITE” screw is the low speed adjustment.

First, remove the tines from the axle. Then start engine. Let it run for two to three minutes. “FLASH” the choke several times during the warm-up to clear any air from the Fuel system.

Then stop the engine after it reaches operating temperature.

Now, turn the RED, high- speed screw counter-clockwise all the way to stop…Then turn the WHITE, low speed screw halfway between the counter- clockwise and clockwise stop positions.

Now restart the engine to finish the carburetor adjustment.

Run the engine at full speed two or three seconds to clear out any excess fuel. Then return to idle.

Now, accelerate the engine to full throttle several times to check for a smooth transition from idle to high speed.

If the engine hesitates turn the WHITE, low-speed screw counter-clockwise one-eighth of a turn. Then accelerate the engine.

Repeat the adjustment until you get a smooth transition to high speed.
