TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 33)

The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust- merit should not be necessary. However, minor adjust- ment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does Reed adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turnig idle mixture valve in (clockwise) de- creases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/ air mixture, Turning the idle mixture valve out (counter- clockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture

IMPORTANT: DAMAGETOTHENEEDLEVALVE AND THE SEAT tN CARBURETOR MAY RE_

SULT IF SCREW IS TURNED IN TOO TIGHT.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

•Air cleaner assembly must be assembled to the carbu- retor when making carburetor adjustments.
