ADJUSTING THE ENGINE IDLE SPEED
The machine pipes and air vent cover must be installed while adjusting
the engine idle speed. The Engine idle speed will also be affected if
either the air vent cover or machine pipes are blocked, damaged or
incorrectly installed.
If, after checking the fuel and cleaning the air filter,the engine still will not idle,
adjust the idle speed screw as follows:
1. Start the engine and let it run at a high idle for a minute to warm up. Refer to
Starting/Stopping.
2. Release the throttle trigger and let the engine idle. If the engine stops, use a
small phillips or at blade to turn the idle speed screw in, clockwise, 1/8 of a turn at
a time (as needed) until the engine idles smoothly (Fig.18).
NOTE:Checking the fuel, cleaning the air lter, and adjusting the idle speed should
solve most engine problems. If not and all of the following are true:
The engine will not idle.
The engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration.
There is a loss of engine power.
Check the spark plug for proper gap and condition. If problem still
occurs, have the carburetor adjusted by an authorized service dealer.
MAINTENANCE
Some maintenance procedures may require special tools or skills. If you
are unsure about these procedures, take your unit to an authorised
service dealer.
