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 caF The limiter cap cannot be removed without breaking the adjusting needler

The carburetor has been preset at the fac- tory and adjustment should not be neces- sary. 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:

tn general, turning idle mixture valve in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture. Turning the idle mixture valve out

(counterclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needle valve and the seat in carburetor may result if screw is turned in too tight.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

o Air cleaner assembly must be assem- bled to the carburetor when making car-

buretor adjustments,

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

FINAL SETTING

lever in neutral (N) position.

°While still holding throttle lever against

idle speed screw, turn idle mixture valve full travel clockwise then counterclock-

wise until engine runs rough. Turn valve to a point midway between those

two positions Release throttle lever,
