CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

Engine Break-In
New engines must be operated a minimum of two tanks of fuel before
carburetor adjustments can be made. During the break-in period your
engine performance will increase and exhaust emissions will stabilize.
Idle speed can be adjusted as required.
High Altitude Operation
This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain satisfactory starting,
emission, and durability performance up to 1,000 feet above mean sea
level (MSL). To maintain proper engine operation above 1,000 feet MSL
the carburetor must be adjusted by an authorized ECHO service dealer.
IMPORTANT
If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,000 feet MSL, the
carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the engine below
1,000 feet MSL, otherwise severe engine damage can result.
