DANGER

The engine must be running to adjust the carburetor for engine idle. To guard against injury, keep hands, feet, face, and other parts of body away from the muffler/ exhaust pipe, other hot parts of the engine, and moving or rotating parts of the engine.

3.Start the engine and allow it to warm up by run- ning at 1/2 throttle for approximately five (5) minutes. The engine must be warm before making final settings.

4.Move the throttle to the idle position. Adjust idle speed for 1200 rpm (± 75 rpm) by adjusting the idle speed screw. Check the idle speed using a tachometer.

5.With the engine idling, adjust the idle mixture by turning the idle mixture needle valve in (slowly) from the preliminary setting until engine speed decreases and then back out approximately 3/4 to 1 turn to obtain the best low speed perfor- mance.

6.Recheck idle speed after the final idle mixture adjustment.
