cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For
this reason, we recommend you have a qualified service
dealer cleanthe cooling system per recommended intervals
(see MaintenanceSchedule in beginning of Maintenance
section). Equally important is to keep top of engine free from
debris. See Clean Debris.

with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve. Top speed has been
set at the factory, if adjustment is required, see an
authorized service dealer.
