CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS
CARBURETOR
The carburetor is a single barrel, down-draft type with a
cleanable metal screen air intake filter/spark arrester. The
choke is operated by a 12-VOLT solenoid activated when the
ON
switch is depressed.
Air Screen/Flame Arrester
The air screen/flame arrester can easily be removed by
releasing the hold-down clamp. Clean after the first 50 hours
of operation, every 100 hours from then on. Clean the air
screen in a water soluble cleaner such as GUNK.
Carburetor Filter Screen
Clean this filter element after the first 50 hours of operation,
then clean and inspect every 250 operating hours. Replace
the screen if necessary. Tighten the plug and make certain
there are no leaks.
