CARBURETOR TROUBLESHOOTING
AND ADJUSTMENTS
In compliance with government emission
standards, the carburetor is calibrated to
deliver the correct fuel-to-air mixture to
the engine under all operating condi-
tions. The carburetor cannot be adjusted,
except for low idle speed. Carburetor
servicing should be performed by an
authorized service center only.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If engine troubles are experienced that
appear to be fuel system related, check
the following areas before adjusting the
carburetor.
1. Make sure the fuel tank is filled with
clean, fresh gasoline.
2. Make sure the fuel tank cap vent is
not blocked and that it is operating
properly.
3. Make sure the in-line fuel filter is
clean. Replace the filter if it is dirty or
restricted.
4. Make sure fuel is reaching the
carburetor. This includes checking
the fuel lines and fuel pump for
restrictions or faulty components.
5. Make sure the air cleaner cartridge
and precleaner are clean and
