A. Before starting the unit for adjustment, check the following items.
1. The correct spark plug must be clean and properly gapped.
2. The air fi lter element must be clean and properly installed.
3. The muffl er exhaust port must be clear of carbon.
4. The fuel lines, tank vent and fuel fi lter are in good condition and clear of debris.
5. The fuel is fresh ( > 89 octane : RON ) and properly mixed at 50 : 1 with "ISO L-EGD" or "JASO FC/
FD" 2-stroke oil.
6. 20, 25 or 30 cm bar and chain must be installed, and properly tensioned.
B. Preliminary adjustment : Adjustment by Throttle adjust screw of carburetor.
Start and run engine for 100 seconds alternating engine speed between WOT 5 seconds and idle 5 sec-
onds. Verify idle engine speed ranges from 2,800 to 3,600 r/min, and WOT engine speed ranges 12,700
to 13,100 r/min. If idle engine speed is out of range, adjust throttle adjust screw to 2,800 - 3,600 r/min.
Make sure WOT engine speed in range 12,700 - 13,100 r/min again. If engine does not run correctly after
this adjustment, proceed to the next step 4-7-2.

NOTE : The initial carburetor settings for throttle
adjust screw, L and H mixture needles are
intended to start and run the engine before final
carburetor adjustments are made to conform the
