Carburetor Adjustment

Before adjusting the carburetor, clean the cover vents and air
filter as shown in Illustration (Fig.73-74), refer to Operation-
Starting Unit and Maintenance-Air Filter Sections for details.
Allow the engine to warm up prior to carburetor adjustment.
This engine is designed and manufactured in order to comply
with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Phase 3 regulations.
WARNING: Don't try to force the screws outside the
range!
WARNING: Don't modify the carburetor in any way in
such case the engine will not run in compliance with
emissions regulations.
Idle Speed Adjustment
• If the engine starts, runs, and accelerates but will not idle; turn
the idle speed screw "T" clockwise to increase idle speed
(Fig. 75).

screw "T" counter-clockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop

speed, contact a Servicing Dealer for adjustment and

affect carburation.

Fuel Filter

Check the fuel filter (Fig. 76) periodically. Replace it if contaminated

filter if heavily clogged or damaged.
Blow with compressed air, at a distance. Reinstall the air filter into
