The carburetor tuning depends on the defined ambient and oper-
ating conditions.
The idle setting of the carburetor has a big influence on the
starting behavior, stable idle speed, and the response to throttle
opening. This means that an engine with a correctly set idle
speed will be easier to start than one with an incorrectly set idle
speed.

increased wear caused by engine vibration. Wear can
