TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 36)
The carburetor has been present at the factory and adjust-
ment should not be necessary_ However, minor adjustment
may be required to compensate for differences in fuel,
temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need
adjustment, proceed as fol{ows:
In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise)
decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner
fuel/air mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (coun-
terclockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine
giving a richer fue!/air mixture
IMPORTANT; DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE
SEATS IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS
TURNED 1N TOO TIGHT.
PRELIMINARY SETTING -
. Be sure you have a clean air filter, and the throttle
control cable is adjusted properly (see above)°
• With engine off turn idle fuel adjusting needle in (clock-
wise) closing it finger tight and then turn out (counter-
clockwise) 1-1/4 turns.
o Turn main fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise) closing
finger tight and then turn out (counterclockwise) 1 turn°
