Correcting the carburetor setting for use
at high altitudes
The setting may have to be marginally
corrected if engine performance is
unsatisfactory at high altitudes:
N Make standard setting
N Let the engine warm up
N Turn the high speed adjusting
screw (H) slightly clockwise (leaner)
– max. up to the stop
NOTICE
After descending from a high altitude,
restore the carburetor setting to the
standard setting.
If you make the setting too lean it will
increase the risk of engine damage
through lack of lubrication and
overheating.

with a spark arresting screen.

check the spark arresting screen in
the muffler
WARNING

before performing the following
operations.

upwards out of the muffler
N Clean the soiled spark arresting
screen
