Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the emission control devices and sys- tems, which are being done at the customers expense, may be performed by any non-road engine repair establish- ment or individual. Warranty repairs must

be performed by an authorized engine manufacturer's service outlet.

position. Slowly move lever from choke to fast position.

2.Check that holes "A" in governor control lever and hole in governor plate line-up. If holes "A" are net aligned, loosen clamp screw and move throttle cable until holes are aligned. Tighten clamp screw securely.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

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.

The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. 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, fuming idle mixture valve in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine gMng a leaner fuel/air mixture. Turning the idle mixture valve out (counter- clockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine gMng a richer fueVair mixture. IMPORTANT: Damage to the needle valve and the seat in carburetor may result if screw is turned in too tight.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

1.Air cleaner assembly must be as- sembled to the carburetor when

making carburetor adjustments.

2.Be sure the throttle control cable is adjusted properly (see above).

FINAL SE'I-rlNG-

1.Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make final adjustments with engine running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

2.Move throttle control lever to slow position. With finger, rotate and hold throttle lever against idle speed screw. Turn idle speed screw to attain 1750 RPM.

3.While still holding throttle lever

against idle speed screw, turn idle mixture valve full travel clockwise then

counterclockwise until engine runs

rough. Turn valve to a point midway between those two positions. Re- lease throttle lever.
