Fine Tuning

A slight correction of the setting of the
high speed screw (H) may be necessary
if engine power is not satisfactory when
operating at high altitude or at sea level
or after changing the tool.
Rule of thumb
: Turn high speed screw (H) about
a quarter turn for every 1000m
(3300 ft) change in altitude.
: Carry out standard setting.
: Warm up engine for about 3
minutes.
