PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Adjusting the carburetor

The carburetor is an important part of
the engine and requires very sophisti-
cated adjustment. Therefore, most
carburetor adjustments should be left
to a Yamaha dealer, who has the
1
necessary professional knowledge
and experience. However, the follow-
ing may be serviced by the owner as
part of routine maintenance.
cC
The carburetor has been set and
exhaust
extensively tested at the Yamaha
factory. Changing these settings
without sufficient technical knowl-
edge may result in poor perfor-
mance of or damage to the engine.
