CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

The manufacturer of the equipment on which this
engine is installed specifies top speed at which the
engine will be operated. DO NOT EXCEED this speed.
Fuel/air mixture on this engine is not adjustable. If speed
adjustment is required, see your Authorized Briggs &
Stratton Service Dealer.
Note: Engines operated at about 3000 to 5000 feet (900 to
1500 meters) above sea level may require a high altitude car-

Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for cost to install/
