TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has a high speed fixed jet
and has been preset at the factory and ad­
justment should not be necessary. How­
ever, minor adjustments may be required
to compensate for differences in fuel, tem­
perature, altitude or load. If the carburetor
does need adjustment, proceed as follows.
FINAL SETTING
® Start engine and allow to warm for five
minutes.
" With throttle control in “SLOW” position.
IDLE RPM ADJUSTMENT
® To adjust idle RPM, rotate throttle link­
age counterclockwise and hold against
stop while adjusting idle speed adjusting
screw to obtain 1750 RPM. Release
throttle linkage.
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do
not adjust or damage may result.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the en­
gine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed, overspeeding the
engine above the factory high speed set­
ting can be dangerous. If you think the
engine-governed high speed needs adjust­
ing, contact your nearest authorized ser­
vice center/department, which has the
proper equipment and experience to make
any necessary adjustments.
