Adjusting the carburetor

The carburetor is an important part of
the engine and requires very sophisti-
cated adjustment. Therefore, most car-
buretor adjustments should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the neces-

following section, however, may be ser-

tensively tested at the Yamaha fac-
tory. Changing these
without sufficient technical knowl-
edge may result in poor perfor-
mance of or damage to the engine.
