TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been present at the
factory and adjustment should not be nec.
essary. However, minor adjustment may
be required to compensate for differences
in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the
carburetor does need adjustment, proceeq
as follows:
Be sure you have a clean air filter and
the throttle control cable is adjusted
properly (see above).
Start engine and allow to warm for five
minutes. Make final adjustments with
engine running and shift/motion control
lever in neutral (N) position.
The high idle is set at the factory and
cannot be adjusted.
Idle speed setting - With throttle control
lever in slow position, engine should idi
at 1200 RPM. If engine idles too slow o
fast, tum idle speed adjusting screw in
or out until correct idle is attained.
NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is
low emission. It is equipped with an idle
fuel needle with a limiter cap and is not
adjustable. Do not attempt to remove the
limiter cap. The limiter cap cannot be
removed without breaking the adjusting
needle.
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do
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 seer
ing can be dangerous. If you think the
engine-govemed high speed needs
adjusting, contact your nearest authorizec
service center/department, which has
proper equipment and experience to mak
any necessary adjustments.
