7.7.7 Carburetor adjustments
To adjust the carburetor means that you adjust the
engine to the local conditions such as weather, altitude
and fuel.
The carburetor has 3 adjustment controls.
• L = low speed needle
• H = high speed needle
• T = idle speed screw
The low speed needle and the high speed needle adjust
the fuel flow to align with the airflow from the throttle
valve opening. When you turn the low speed needle and
high speed needle clockwise to decrease the quantity of
fuel. When you turn the low speed needle and high
speed needle counterclockwise to increase the quantity
of fuel. Less fuel increases the engine speed and a
more fuel decreases the engine speed.
The idle speed screw controls the throttle position. The
idle speed is increased when you turn the idle speed
screw clockwise. The idle speed is decreased when you
turn the idle speed screw counterclockwise.
The high speed needle and the low speed needle in the
carburetor can only be adjusted with the special tool.
