TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust-
ment should not be necessary. However, minor adjustment
may be required to compensate for differences in fuel,
temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need
adjustment, see engine manual.
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust - damage
may result.
IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE
