➢ Before performing adjustments or repairs:
• Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from the spark plug.
• Use only correct tools.
• Do not tamper with the governor spring, links or other parts to increase engine speed.
• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as the original parts.
• Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object. Doing so may damage or weaken
the flywheel and may cause it to later shatter during operation.
➢ When testing for spark:
• Use approved spark plug tester.
• Do not choke for spark with spark plug removed.

Carburetor Adjustment
Never make adjustments to the carburetor. The carburetor was set at the factory to operate efficiently
under most conditions. However, if adjustments are required, see any our Authorized Dealer for service.
In particular, if operating above 2,000 feet altitude, the carburetor may need to be adjusted and should
only be done at an Authorized Dealer
CAUTION: The manufacturer of the equipment on which this engine is installed may specify the top
speed at which the engine will be operated. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended speed.
