76 GS 461
Erratic idling behavior, poor
acceleration
(despite low speed screw = 1/4)
Idle setting is too lean.
– Let the engine warm up
– Turn the low speed adjusting
screw L counterclockwise until
the engine runs smoothly and
accelerates properly.
The setting of the idle speed
screw LA must usually also be
adjusted whenever the setting of the
low speed adjusting screw L has
been corrected.
Correcting the carburetor setting
for use at high altitudes
If the engine does not run
satisfactorily, a minor correction
may have to be made.
– Check the standard setting
– Let the engine warm up
– Turn the high speed adjusting
screw H slightly clockwise
(leaner), but no further than the
stop.
The screws should be adjusted as
little as possible. The slightest
adjustment produces a tangible
difference in engine behavior.
If you make the setting too lean it
will increase the risk of engine
damage through lack of lubrication
and overheating.
After descending from a high
altitude, set carburetor setting
back to "Standard setting".
