NOTE: When setting idle mixture, DO NOT adjust leaner than necessary to attain reason-
ably smooth idling. When in doubt, set to the slightly rich side of highest R.P.M..
4. Adjust carburetor for best performance, after clearing the engine. With engine running
at idle speed in “Forward” gear, turn mixture screw “In” (clockwise) until engine starts
to loose R.P.M., fire unevenly, and or misfires. Back out 1/4 turn or more. (See General
Specifications for minimum and maximum adjustment).
5. Check for too lean of mixture on acceleration. (Engine will “hesitate” or “stall” on accel-
eration). Readjust mixture if necessary. Install access plug.
