Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission control devices and systems, which are being done at the customers ex- pense, may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual. Warranty repairs must be performed by an

authorized engine manufacturer's service outlet.

TO ADJUSTTHROTTLE CONTROL

CABLE

The throttle control has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be nec- essary. Check adjustment as described below before loosening cable. If adjust- ment is necessary, proceed as follows:

1.With engine not running, move throttle control lever from slow to choke posi-

tion. Slowly move lever from choke to fast position.

2.Check to see if hole in throttle lever and hole in speed control bracket are aligned.

3.If holes are not aligned, loosen cable clamp screw and align the holes by inserting a pencil or a 1/4" drill bit through both holes.

4.Pull throttle cable up to remove slack and tighten cable clamp screw. Re-

move alignment pencil or drill bit.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been preset at the

factory and adjustment should not be nec- essary. However, minor adjustment may

be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning the adjusting needles 'rein (clockwise) decreases the supply of

fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (counterclockwise) increases the supply

of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needles and seats in carburetor may result if turned in too tight.

NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped with an idle fuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap, which allows some adjustment within the limits allowed by the cap. Do not attempt to remove the limiter cap. The limiter cap cannot be removed without breaking the adjusting needle.
