CARBURETOR
(See Fig. 34)
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust-
ment should not be necessary,.
However, minor adjust-
ment 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) de-
creases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/
air mixture.
Turning the idle mixture valve out (counter-
clockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving
a richer fuel/air mixture.
IMPORTANT;
DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLE VALVE AND
THE SEAT fN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF SCREW IS
TURNED IN TOO TtGHTr
