5. Turn the slow speed mixture screw slowly out until the engine starts to
load up or fire unevenly due to a rich mixture. Note the position of the
screw slot.
6. Set the slow speed mixture screw midway between the rich and lean
setting. When in doubt, set the mixture slightly rich rather than too lean.

Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the
engine must be fastened using special washer head bolt ("d" ‑ Part Number
10‑856680) and self‑locking nylon insert locknuts ("a" & "c" ‑ Part Number
11‑826709113). These locknuts must never be replaced with common nuts
(non‑locking) as they will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to
disengage.
