CARBURETOR
Your
carburetor

If your
engine does not operate
properly
due to sus-
pected
carburetor
problems,
take your lawn
mower

service
center

with the
engine
governor,
which
is factory
set
for proper

speed.

the engine

the engine-governed
high speed

equipment
and experience
to make
any
necessary
adjustments.
