TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is
low emissiom It is equipped with an idle
fuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap,
which allows some adjustment within the
limits allowed by the cap. Do not attempt
to remove the limiter cap. The limiter cap
cannot be removed without breaking the
adjusting needle.
The carburetor has been preset at the fac-
tory and adjustment should not be neces-
sary. However, minor adjustment may be
required to compensate for differences in
fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the
carburetor does need adjustment, proceed
as follows:
In general, turning idle mixture valve in
(clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to
the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mixture.
Turning the idle mixture valve out (counter-
clockwise) increases the supply offuel to the
engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture.
IMPORTANT: Damage to the needle valve
and the seat in carburetor may result if screw
is turned in too tight.
PRELIMINARY SETTING -
1. Air cleaner assembly must be assembled
to the carburetor when making carburetor
adjustment&
2, Be sure the throttle control cable is ad-
justed properly (see above).
FINAL SETTING -
1. Start engine and allow to warm for five
minutes. Make final adjustments with
engine running and shift/motion control
lever in neutral (N) position,
2. Move throttle control lever to slow posi-
tion. With finger, rotate and hold throttle
lever against idle speed screw. lParn idle
speed screw to attain 1750 RPM.
3_ While still holding throttle lever against
idle speed screw, turn idle mixture
valve full travel clockwise then counter-
clockwise until engine runs rough Turn
valve to a point midway between those
two positions. Release throttle lever,
ACCELERATION TEST
4, Move throttle control lever from slow
to fast position. If engine hesitates or
dies, turn idle mixture valve out (coun-
terclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test and
continue to adjust, if necessary, until
engine accelerates smoothly.
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not
adjust - damage may resulL
IMPORTANT: Never tamperwith the engine
governor, which is factory set for proper
engine speed. Overspeeding the engine
above the factory high speed setting can be
dangerous_ Ifyou thinkthe engine-governed
high speed needs adjusting, contact a Sears
or other qualified service center, which has
proper equipment and experience to make
any necessary adjustments.
