screw In (clockwise) until engine
begins to die and then turn out

Continue to hold throttle lever against
idle speed screw and adjust idle
speed screw to obtain 1200 RPM, if
the governed idle spring is red, or 900
RPM, if the governed idle spring is
white. Release throttle lever.

Move throttle control lever from slow to
fast position. If engine hesitates or
dies, turn idle mixture screw out
(counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat
test and continue to adjust, if neces-
sary, until engine accelerates

not adjust - damage may result.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed. Overspeeding the
engine above the factory high speed
setting can be dangerous. If you think
the engine-governed high speed needs
adjusting, contact your nearest autho-
rized service center/department, which
has proper equipment and experience to
make any necessary adjustments.
