Adjustingthe carburetor

NOTE:

The grinding parts are equipped with an electronic ignition to limit the speed. The carburetor also has a fixed jet which cannot be adjusted.

At the factory the idling speed has been set to approx. 2,300l/min., but the running-in process of a new engine may require slight readjustment of the idling speed.

Set the idling speed with a screwdriver (width of blade: 4 mm).

Thescrewdrivershown (A/1) (order number 944340001) hasa molded-on lug to assist in adjustment.

For correct adjustment of the idling speed the following steps must be carried out:

1. Start the engine and run it until

I

it is warm (about 3

- 5 minutes).

 

 

2. Switch off the engine. STOP

3. Remove the cover with the air filter.

- Unscrewthe two screws (B/2) to the leftand right on the cover (B/3).

CAREFUL! This exposes the carburetor intake! Dust or dirt particles that get into the carburetor can ruin the engine! Make sure your clothing is free of dust and dirt particles, your tools are clean, and the working area is clean. Do not lay a cloth or similar material on the carburetor intake opening!

If the cut-off disc is still turning when the engine is running,

 

unscrew the adjusting screw of the throttle valve (C/4) until

 

the cut-off disc is no longer turning. When the engine is left

-

running at idling speed, loosen the screw a little.

Now the acceleration from idling speed to maximum speed

 

must be tested byabruptlyoperating the throttle lever. If the

 

acceleration is too slow, the idling speed jet screw (C/5) must

be loosened slightly (max. 1/8of a revolution) and the throttle valve adjusting screw (C/4) tightened slightly.

If the engine cannot be adjusted as described under point 5, a basic adjustment must be carried out with the engine

switched off.

The idling speed and the acceleration can be corrected by

 

turning the idling speedjet screw (C/5).Turn in the screw to

 

speed up, and turn out the screw to speed down the engine.

After adjusting the carburetor it is absolutely essential to replace the cover with the air filter (B/4).
