TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
(See Figs. 41 and 42)
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 Ioado If the carburetor does need
adjustment, proceed as follows:
In general, turning the mixture screw in (clockwise) de-
creases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/
air mixture. Turning the mixture screw out (counterclock-
wise) 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 rN TOO TIGHT.
PRELIMINARY SETTING -
o Be sure you have a clean air filter, and the throttle
control cable and choke are adjusted properly (see
above).
° With engine off turn idle mixture screw in (clockwise)
closing it finger tight and then turn out (counterclock-
wise) 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns.
FINAL SETTING -
° Start engine and allowto warm for five minutes. Make
final adjustments with engine running and shift/motion
control lever in "NEUTRAL" position.
o With throttle control lever in "SLOW" position, hold
throttle lever against idle speed screw and adjust idle
speed screw to obtain 1200 to 1400 RPMo
o While still holding throttle lever against idle speed
screw, turn idle mixture screw in (clockwise) until
engine begins to die and then turn out (counterclock-
wise) until engine runs rough. Turn screw to a point
midway between those two positions.
o Continue to hold throttle lever against idle speed screw
and adjust idle speed screwto obtain 900 to 1200 RPM
Release throttle lever.
,ACCELERATION TES]: -
• Move throttle control lever from "SLOW" to "FAST"
position, if engine hesitates or dies, turn idle mixture
screw out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test
and continue to adjust, if necessary, until engine accel-
erates smoothly..
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust -
damage may resulL
IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE
GOVERNOR, WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER
