Engine Break-In

New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks of fuel
break-in before carburetor adjustments can be made. During the break-
in period your engine performance will increase and exhaust emissions
will stabilize. Idle speed can be adjusted as required.

High Altitude Adjustment

High altitude adjustment is not required for proper operation of this
engine.

Level 2.
Tools required: Screwdriver, tachometer

Parts required: None.

NOTE
Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in com-
pliance with emission regulations. This carburetor does not have
acceleration and high speed adjustment needles.

Before adjusting the carburetor, clean or replace the air filter and spark
arrestor screen and blower pipes are installed.
