Erratic idling behavior, engine
speed drops when swinging the

Idle setting is too rich
Turn the low speed screw (L)
clockwise (1/8 of a turn or 45° at
a time) until the engine runs
smoothly and accelerates well.

setting of the idle speed screw (LA)
after every correction to the low

necessary if engine power is not
satisfactory when operating at high
altitude.

cutting tool mounted.
The drive shaft and cutting must
rotate freely.

is a risk of engine damage as a
result of lack of lubrication and
overheating.

improvement, see the
troubleshooting charts for the

and engine, b 4.4, b 4.5.
