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 infuel, temperature, altitude or load. if the carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as follows:
In general, turning idle mixture valve in (clockwise) de- creases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/ air mixture. Turning the idte mixture valve out (counter-
clockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture.
