NOTE: The carburettor adjustment needle(s) are equipped with plastic cap(s) which prevent anticlockwise rotation from the original factory
adjustment. If your product exhibits specific performance problem(s) where the Troubleshooting Section recommends an anticlockwise
needle adjustment and you have made no adjustments since the original purchase, take the product to a factory authorised service
dealer for repair. In most cases, the needed adjustment is a simple task for the factory trained service representative.
