The idle setting of the carburetor has a big influence on the starting behavior, stable idling
and the response to throttle opening. That means that an engine with a correctly set idle
speed is easier to start than if the idle is set wrongly.
Info
The carburetor and its components are subject to increased wear caused by engine
vibration. Wear can result in malfunctioning.
If the idle speed is set significantly higher, the engine does not start. When the elec-
tric starter button is activated, the electric starter turns over the engine, but the
engine does not start because there is no ignition spark.
