IDLE SPEED
The idle speed should be checked in accordance with the periodic
maintenance schedule, or whenever the idle speed is disturbed.The
idle speed is changed by turning the idle speed screw located on the
side of the carburetor.
Idle speed should not race the engine, but run just above any chance
of stalling.
A smooth, low idle is a sign of a properly running motor and helps to
signal any issues with the engine.
You will notice that the idle speed will seem to increase during the en-
gine break-in period. This is completely normal.Check and adjust the
idle speed at the first break-in, and in accordance with the periodic
maintenance schedule.
