TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has a high speed jet and
has been preset at the factory and adjust-
ment should not be necessary, However,
minor adjustments
may be required to
compensate
for differences
in fuel, temper-
ature, altitude or load. If the carburetor
does need adjustment,
proceed as follows.
o Move throttle control lever from "SLOW"
to "FAST" position,
tf engine hesitates
or dies, turn needle valve out (counter-
clockwise)
1/8 turn. Repeat test and
continue to adjust, if necessary,
until
engine accelerates
smoothly.
High speed stop is factory adjusted.
Do
not adjust or damage may result.
iMPORTANT:
Never tamper with the en-
gine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed° overspeeding the
engine above the factory high speed set-
ting can be dangerous.
If you think the
engine-governed high speed needs adjust-
ing, contact your nearest authorized ser-
vice center/department,
which has the
proper equipment and experience
to make
any necessary adjustments.
