Adjusting the carburetor

The carburetor should be checked and, if neces-

8

 

sary, adjusted at the intervals specified in the peri-

 

odic maintenance and lubrication chart. The

 

carburetor is an important part of the engine and

 

requires very sophisticated adjustment. Therefore,

 

most carburetor adjustments should be left to a

 

Yamaha dealer, who has the necessary profes-

 

sional knowledge and experience. The adjustment

 

described in the following section, however, may

 

be performed by the owner as part of routine main-

 

tenance.
