SECTION 14 - FUEL SYSTEM

CARBURETOR

The last paragraph under the heading above, on page 14-4 in the 1995-1996 Maintenance and Service Man-
ual should read as follows:
For elevations above 3000 feet, main jets other than standard operate more effectively. Therefore, the follow-
ing chart lists the elevation ratings for various jet sizes. No adjustment is required for the pilot jet. If the vehi-
cle runs roughly at low speeds, turn the pilot screw (8) (Figure 14-4) out until the vehicle runs smoothly.
Usually, not more than one turn of the screw is necessary.
See Maintenance and Service Manual Page 14-4 for Figure 14-4 and chart.

PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING MAIN JET

The governor guard (6) used previously and shown in the 1995-1996 Maintenance and Service Manual in
Figure 14-6 on Page 14-6, is replaced on the 1997 engine by the new governor guard (6) shown in the illus-
tration at the top of page 138.
