Carburetor/Engine Idle RPM Adjustment
2 Cycle Engines
If the engine idle speed is not satisfactory, and all other conditions are favorable,
the carburetor can be adjusted as follows:
1. Warm up the engine by running
the vehicle approximately five
minutes.
2. Place the transmission in gear
with the parking brake applied.
3. Adjust the carburetor idle screw
in or out until the desired idle
RPM is reached . Turning the
screw in (clockwise) will raise
RPM. Turning the screw out
(counterclockwise) will lower
RPM.
The following variations to air screw adjustment should be noted:
DFor improving cold weather start and reducing audible detonation noise, the
air screw can be closed from 1/2 to 1 turn by turning the screw clockwise.
DDuring hot weather and/or high altitude operation the air screw can be ad-
justed for smooth operation by approximately 2 turns counterclockwise.
