Erratic idling behavior, poor acceleration (even though standard setting of low speed screw is correct)

Idle setting is too lean

NTurn the low speed screw (L) counterclockwise, no further than stop, until the engine runs and accelerates smoothly.

It is usually necessary to change the setting of the idle speed screw (LA) after every correction to the low speed screw (L).

Fine Tuning for Operation at High Altitude

A slight correction of the setting may be necessary if engine does not run satisfactorily:

NCarry out the standard setting. N Warm up the engine.

NTurn high speed screw (H) slightly clockwise (leaner) – no further than stop.

NOTICE

After returning from high altitude, reset the carburetor to the standard setting.

If the setting is too lean there is a risk of engine damage due to insufficient lubrication and overheating.
