Owner`s manual

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needles and
the seats in carburetor may result if
needle is turned in too tight.
NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is
low emission. It is equipped with an idle
fuel adjusting needle with a limiter cap,
which allows some adjustment within the
limits allowed by the cap. Do not attempt
to remove the limiter cap. The limiter cap
cannot be removed without breaking the
adjusting needle.
• Be sure you have a clean air filter and
the throttle control cable is adjusted
properly (see above).
• Start engine and allow to warm for five
minutes. Make adjustments with engine
running and shift/motion control lever in
neutral (N) position.
• Idle speed setting - With throttle control
lever in slow position, engine should
idle at 1750 RPM. If engine idles too
slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting
screw in or out until correct idle is at-
tained.
• Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle
control lever in slow position, turn idle
fuel adjustment needle in (clockwise)
until engine begins to die and then turn
out (counterclockwise) until engine runs
rough. Turn needle to a point midway
between those two positions.
• Recheck idle speed. Readjust if neces-
sary.
ACCELERATION TEST -
• Move throttle control lever from slow to
fast position. If engine hesitates or dies,
turn idle fuel adjusting needle out
(counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test
and continue to adjust, if necessary, un-
til engine accelerates smoothly.
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do
not adjust - damage may result.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the en-
gine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed. Overspeeding the
engine above the factory high speed set-
ting can be dangerous. If you think the en-
.gine-governed high speed needs adjust-
rag, contact your nearest authorized ser-
vice center/department, which has proper
equipment and experience to make any
necessary adjustments.
