such case the engine will not run in compliance with
emissions regulations.

the idle speed screw "T" clockwise to increase idle speed
(Fig. 43).

Fuel Filter

Check the fuel filter (E, Fig. 44) periodically. Replace it if

Air Filter

WARNING: Do not clean filter in gasoline or other
flammable solvent to avoid creating a fire hazard or
