MS 360
Adjusting Idle Speed
Engine stops while idling
: Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
clockwise until chain begins to run –
then back it off one quarter of a turn.
Chain runs when engine is idling
: Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
counterclockwise until chain stops
running – then turn screw another
quarter turn in the same direction.
Erratic idling behavior, poor
acceleration
Idle setting too lean:
: Turn low speed screw (L)
counterclockwise (about 1/4 turn)
until the engine runs and
accelerates smoothly.
Adjustment for Operation at High
Altitudes
A slight correction of the setting may be
necessary if engine power is not
satisfactory when operating at high
altitude:
: Check standard setting.
: Warm up the engine.
: Turn the high speed screw (H) and
the low speed screw (L) clockwise.
If you make the mixture too lean,
maximum permissible engine speed
will be exceeded and there is a risk
of serious engine damage.
