TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the fac-
tory and adjustment should not be neces-
sary. However, minor adjustment may be
required to compensate for differences in

as follows:
In general, turning the mixture screw in
(clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to
the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture.
Turnin_ the mixture screw out (counter-
clockwzse) increases the supply of fuel to
the engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture.
IMPORTANT" Damage to the needles and
the seats in carburetor may result if screw
is turned in too tight.

tion, hold throttle lever a_ainst idle
