In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the
engine is test run at the factory, the carburetor is
basically adjusted. A further adjustment may be
required, according to climate and altitude. The
carburetor has one adjustment possibility:
T = Idle speed adjustment screw.
Idle speed adjustment (T)
Check that the air fi lter is clean. Be sure the cutting
attachment stop turning when the engine idle. When
the idle speed is correct, the cutting attachment
will not rotate. If adjustment is required, close
(clockwise) the T-screw, with the engine running,
until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Open
(counter-clockwise) the screw until the cutting
attachment stops. You have reached the correct
idle speed when the engine runs smoothly in all
positions well below the rpm when the cutting
attachment starts to rotate.
If the cutting attachment still rotates after idle speed
adjustment, contact your Tanaka dealer.
NOTE
Standard Idle rpm is 2,800 – 3,200 min
WARNING
When the engine is idling the cutting
attachment must under no circumstances
rotate.

replace it.
