Carburetor adjustments
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.
Differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load may require
minor carburetor adjustment. Air cleaner and air cleaner cover
must be assembled to carburetor before starting engine.
The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped
with an idle mixture valve with a limiter (see inset), which allows
some adjustment, and an idle speed adjustment screw.
Adjustments
Start engine and warm up approximately 5 minutes before
adjusting. With engine running, place throttle control in SLOW
position. Rotate carburetor throttle lever against the idle
speed screw and hold it. Turn idle speed screw to obtain 1750
rpm.
Rotate idle mixture valve full travel clockwise and then counter-
clockwise. Finally, position idle mixture valve in middle of trav-
el. Check idle speed and re-adjust to 1750 rpm, if necessary.
Move throttle control to FAST position. Engine should
accelerate smoothly. If it does not, adjust idle mixture valve
counterclockwise 1/8 turn.
