3, Carburetor Adjustment

In generat, turning the adjusting needles (Fig_29) in (clock- wise) decreases the supply of fuel to the carburetor_ This

gives a leaner fuel/air mixture, Turning the adjusting needles (Fig. 29) out (counterclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the carburetor. This gives a richer fuel/air mixture_ Setting the needles midway between the lean and rich positions will usually give the best results,,

Adjust the carburetor as follows;

a..With the en_Tinestopped, turn the idle fuel adjust- ing needle m (clockwise) until it bottoms lightly.,

NOTE: The tip of the idle fuel and main fuel adjusting needles are tapered to critical dimen- sions_ Damage to the needles and the seats in carburetorbody will result ff the needles are forced

bPreliminary settings.: Turn the adjusting needles

out (counterclockwise) from lightlybottomed_ .Turn the idle 1-1/4 turns, turn the matn i turn.
