E CE AN ADJ ENTS
TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
(See Figs. 32 and 33)
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 load. If the carburetor does need
adjustment, proceed as follows:
]n 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 (counterctocko
wise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a
richer fuel/air mixture.
IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE
SEATS tN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS
TURNED tN TOO TIGHT.
PREUMINARY SE_ING o
Be sure you have a clean air filter, and the throttle
contro_ cable and choke are adjusted properly (see
above).
o With engine off turn idle mixture screw in (clockwise)
closing it finger tight and then turn out (counterclock-
wise) 1-t/4 to 1-1/2 turns.
FINAL SETTING o
• Start engine and aiiow to warm for five minutes. Make
final adjustments with engine running and shift/motion
control lever in neutral (N) 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 !400 RPM
• While stir holding throttle lever against idle speed
screw, turn idle mixture screw in (clockwise) until
engine begins to die and then turn out (counterclock-
wise) untit 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 screw to obtain 900 to 1200 RPM.
Release throttle lever.
ACCELERATION TEST-
Move throttle control lever from slow (_) to fast (,1_)
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 smootNyo
High speed stop is factory' adjusted. Do not adjust -
damage may result.
