TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the
factory and adjustment should not be
necessary. However, engine performance
can be affected by differences in fuel, tem-
perature, altitude or load. If the carburetor
does need adjustment, contact your near-
est authorized service center/department
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding
the engine above the factory high speed
setting can be dangerous. If you think
the engine-governed high speed needs
adjusting, contact your nearest authorized
service center/department, which has the
proper equipment and experience to make
any necessary adjustments.
