PILOT SCREW ADJUSTMENT
IDLE DROP PROCEDURE
NOTE:
• Make sure the carburetor synchronization is with-
in specification before pilot screw adjustment.
• The pilot screws are factory pre-set and no
adjustment is necessary unless the pilot screws
are replaced.

smaller that will accurately indicate a 50 rpm
change.

is an initial setting prior to the final pilot screw
adjustment.
CAUTION:
Damage to the pilot screw seat will occur if the pi-
lot screw is tightened against the seat.
