=With engine not running, move throttle control lever to fast (,f_) position.

,Check that speed control lever is against stop screw. If it is not, loosen casing clamp screw and pull throttle cable until lever is against screw. Tighten clamp screw securely.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig= 36)

The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust- ment should not be necessary, 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:

In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (coun- terclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture.
