be stopped by moving the Choke Lever to
Full Choke Position.
If the motor will not be operated for a
period of time, if it is to be removed from
the boat, or _f it is to be tilted up, we
recommend the following practice to
prevent _pi]faga from the carburetor
throat and bowl and to prevent gum
formations in the carburetor during
sto rage :
1. Close fuel shut-off valve and air
vent screw at fuel filler cap.
2. Allow motor to run at idling speed
until it stops of its own accord,
indicating the carburetor has run
dry.

to "Off" position and throttle lever to half
throttle position. Pull recoil starter handle

the idle speed has been preset at the factory.

and counter cfockwtse to decrease it. The
idle speed adjustment must be done with
throttfe lever at full closed posttion and the
idle speed should be as low as possible while
theengme runs steady. (See Figure 9)
b. Periodically check filter for dirt by unscrew-
ing Sediment Bowl.
