CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

The idle speed of the engine is adjustable. An idle adjustment
screw is between the air
filter cover and the engine
starter housing (Fig. 32).
NOTE: Careless
adjustments can
seriously damage
your unit. A
qualified service
dealer should
make carburetor
adjustments.
Check Fuel
Old fuel is usually the
reason for improper unit performance. Drain and refill the tank
with fresh fuel prior to making any adjustments. Refer to Oil
and Fuel Information.
Clean Air Filter
The condition of the air filter is important to the operation of
the unit. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow. This is often
mistaken for an out of adjustment carburetor. Check the
condition of the air filter before adjusting the idle speed screw.
Refer to Air Filter Maintenance.
