CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust-
ment should not be necessary. However, minor adjust-
ment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel,
temperature, altitude or load.

running engine.
• Best carburetor adjustment is obtained when fuel tank
is 1/4 full.
• In order for the engine to run, the operator presence
control bar must be held in the operating position.
Therefore, and assistant will be required to hold the
control bar in the operating position when making final
adjustment to the carburetor.
See the adjustment section of your engine manual for
further instructions.
