TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig, 30)

The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust- ment should not be necessary. However, minor adjust- ment may be requiredto compensate for differences in fuel,

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 givinga leaner fuel/ air mixture. Turning the idle mixture valve out (counter- clockwise) increases the supply offuel tothe engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT; DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLE VALVE AND THE SEAT IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS TURNED IN TOO TIGHT..

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

,Air cleaner assembly must be assembled to the carbu- retor when making carburetor adjustments°

=Be sure the throttle control cable is adjusted properly (see above)..

°With engine off turn idle mixture valve in (clockwise) closing it finger tight and then turn out (counterclock- wise) t full turn,_

FINAL SETTING -

=Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes, Make final adjustments wLthengine running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

•Move throttle control lever to slow (,_!) position. With finger, rotate and hold throttle Iever against idle speed screw° Turn idle speed screw to attain 1750 RPM

,While still holding throttle lever against idle speed screw, turn idle mixture valve in (clockwise) until en-

gine beg!ns to die and then turn out (counterclockwise) until engine runs rough. Turn valve to a point midway between those two positions° Release throttle lever..

ACCELERATION TEST -

°Move throttle control leverfrom slow (,_!) to fast (,_) position° If engine hesitates or dies, turn idle mixture valve out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test and continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine acceler- ates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust - damage may result.

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 AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/

DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS PROPER EQUIPMENT AND

EXPERIENCE TO MAKE ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS.
