7-11. Adjusting Optional High Altitude Carburetor

Y A too lean air-fuel mixture can damage valves. Do not adjust main adjustment screw so air-fuel mixture is too lean.

Carburetor can be equipped with an adjustable main jet for operation above 4000 ft (1219 m). Adjust car- buretor as follows:

Start engine and apply nearly full load to welding generator.

1 Main Adjustment Screw

2 Lock Nut

Loosen nut. Turn screw in until en- gine falters (lean air-fuel mixture). Turn screw out until engine runs smoothly, then turn screw out an additional 1/4 turn. Tighten nut.
