ADJUSTMENTS..TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 36)
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust_
merit should notbe necessary,, However, minor adjustment
may be required to compensate for differences in fuel,
temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need
adjustment, proceed as follows:
In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise)
decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner
fueVair mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (coun-
tercleckwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine
giving a richerfuel/air mixture.
IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE
SEATS IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW {S
TURNED IN TOO TIGHT.
