TO ADJUST
CARBURETOR
(See Fig. 47)
The carburetor has been present at the factory and adjust-
ment should not be necessary. However, minor ad ustment
may be required to compensate
for differences
in fuel,
temperature,
altitude or load. If the carburetor does not
need adjustment,
proceed as follows:
In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise)
decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner
fuel/air mixture, Turning the ad usting needles out (coun-
terc ockw se) ncreases the supp y of rue to the eng ne
giving a richer fuel/air mixture,
IMPORTANT:
DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE

SEATS IN CARBURETOR
MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS
TURNED IN TOO TIGHT
