N Turn the low speed screw (L) 
counterclockwise, no further than 
stop, until the engine runs and 
accelerates smoothly.
It is usually necessary to change the 
setting of the idle speed screw (LA) after 
every correction to the low speed 
screw (L).
Fine Tuning for Operation at High 
Altitude
A slight correction of the setting may be 
necessary if engine does not run 
satisfactorily:
N Carry out the standard setting.
N Warm up the engine.
N Turn high speed screw (H) slightly 
clockwise (leaner) – no further than 
stop.
NOTICE
After returning from high altitude, reset 
the carburetor to the standard setting.
If the setting is too lean there is a risk of 
engine damage due to insufficient 
lubrication and overheating.
N If the engine is down on power, 
check the spark arresting screen in 
the muffler.
N Wait for the muffler to cool down.
N Remove the sprocket cover.
N Take out the screw (1).
N Remove the baffle plate (2).
N Remove the spark arresting 
screen (3).
N Clean the spark arresting screen. If 
the screen is damaged or heavily 
carbonized, fit a new one.
N Refit the spark arresting screen.
N Fit the baffle plate.
If there is a loss of engine power, the 
machine is difficult to start or runs poorly 
at idle, first check the spark plug.
Install a new spark plug after approx. 
100 operating hours or earlier if the 
electrodes are eroded/corroded.
The wrong fuel mix (too much engine oil 
in the gasoline), a dirty air filter and 
unfavorable running conditions (mostly 
at part throttle etc.) affect the condition 
of the spark plug. These factors cause 
deposits to form on the insulator nose, 
which may degrade performance.
Removing the Spark Plug
N Open the twist lock (1) in the 
direction of the arrow.
N Remove the carburetor box 
cover (2).
