TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. However, engine performance can be affected by differences in fuel, tem- perature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adjustment, contact your near- est authorized service center/department

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above the factory high speed

setting can be dangerous. If you think

the engine-governed high speed needs adjusting, contact your nearest sears or other qualified service center which has the proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.
