8.4.5 Adjusting Screws
There are three adjusting screws on
the carburetor:
H = high speed screw (1)
L = low speed screw (2)
LA = idle speed screw (3)
If the carburetor cannot be adjusted
properly, the problem may be the
adjusting screws.
The high speed screw H and low
speed screw L each have a limiter
cap, which has to be removed
before the screw is removed.
Always install new limiter caps.
– Remove the filter cover, b 5.1
It is not necessary to remove the
carburetor to remove and install the
adjusting screws. For the sake of
clarity, however, the illustrations
show the carburetor removed from
the machine.
– See also carburetor
troubleshooting, b 4.4
