CARBURETOR TUNING
The carburetors are set at the factory to run at tem-
peratures of 0 °C ~ –20 °C (32 °F ~ –4 °F) at sea
level. If the machine is to be operated under condi-
tions other than those specified above, the carbure-
tors must be properly adjusted. Special care should
be taken in carburetor setting so that the pistons
will not be damaged or will not seize.
CAUTION:
Before performing the carburetor tuning, make
sure that the following items are set to specifi-
cation.
• Engine idle speed
• Throttle cable free play
• Carburetor synchronization
