Exaust emissions are controlled by the
design of the fundamental engine para-
meters and components (e.g. carbu-
ration, ignition, timing and valve or part
timing) without the addition of any major
hardware.
The carburetor comes with a standard
setting.
This is the optimum setting to ensure
your machine will operate reliably with
the lowest possible emission under most
operating conditions.
