Carburetor: With engine warm and idling, turn
air valve screw to the left until engine falters; then
turn screw to the right three or four notches at a
time until engine idles smoothly.
Suggestions: Inspect all gaskets before reassembling and install new ones when necessary. Be sure needle
valve and needle valve seat are clean as dirt will cause carburetor to leak. Carburetor float should work freely
on float pin without binding at any point.
