necessary. To clean: Tap gently against a
flat surface. If very dirty, replace or wash

• Reassemble air cleaner components.
Tighten knobs (D) securely. Clip cover

Carburetor
The carburetor is adjusted at the factory.
It should not need to be reset. If a black
exhaust is noted, check the air cleaner
first. An over-rich mixture is usually
caused by a poorly serviced or clogged air
cleaner element, not an improperly
adjusted carburetor. If readjustment is
necessary, refer to engine manual or
contact your dealer for servicing.
