Chain runs when engine is idling
N Carry out standard setting on low
speed screw (L).
N Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
counterclockwise until the chain
begins to run – then turn it another
1/4 turn in the same direction.
Erratic idling behavior, poor
acceleration
N Carry out standard setting on low
speed screw (L).
N Idle setting is too lean: Turn the low
speed screw (L) counterclockwise
until the engine runs and
accelerates smoothly.
It is usually necessary to change the
setting of the idle speed screw (LA) after
every correction to the low speed
screw (L).
Fine Tuning for Operation in
Mountains or at Sea Level
A slight correction of the setting may be
necessary if engine power is not
satisfactory when operating at high
altitude or at sea level.
N Check the standard setting.
N Warm up the engine.
At high altitude
N Turn high speed screw (H) slightly
clockwise (leaner) – no further than
stop.
If the setting is too lean there is a
risk of engine damage due to
insufficient lubrication and
overheating.
At sea level
N Turn high speed screw (H) slightly
counterclockwise (richer) – no
further than stop.
