TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 34)
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust- ment 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 need adjustment, proceed as follows:
tn general, turning idfe 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: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLE VALVE AND
TH E SEAT IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS TURNED tN TOO TIGHT.
