TO ADJUST
CARBURETOR
(See
Fig.
39)
The carburetor has been preset 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. tf the carburetor does need
adjustment,
proceed as follows:
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 fuel/air mixture
IMPORTANT:
DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE
SEATS IN CARBURETOR
MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS
TURNED 1N TOO TIGHT
