CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING
The manufacturer of the equipment on which this
engine is installed specifies top speed at which the
engine will be operated. DO NOT EXCEED this speed.
The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is
equipped with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve and
governed idle, if equipped. Governed idle and top speed
have been set at the factory. If adjustment is required, see
an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer.
Note: Engines operated at about 3000 to 5000 feet (900 to
1500 meters) above sea level may require a high altitude car-
buretor nozzle. If erratic performance is observed, contact a
Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for cost to install/
purchase a high altitude carburetor nozzle, if available.
