ENGINE TUNING
After the engine is broken in, you can tune it for optimum performance. When tuning, it is critical that you be cautious of
overheating as severe damage and pre-mature wear can occur.
Before Making Adjustments
• Ensure there are no leaks or obstructions in the fuel tank,
fuel tubing or the carburetor. Any faults can affect engine
operation and tuning.
• The carburetor needle is very sensitive. Adjusting the
needle even 1/12 of a turn is a significant change. Be
careful when making adjustments.
Factory Needle Settings
• Low-Speed Needle: 20 hours from the bottom

Carb Adjustments
Make all carburetor adjustments in one-hour increments.
Imagine the slot in the needle is the hour hand on a clock.
Adjust it as though you were moving the hour hand from one
hour to the next or previous one.
NOTICE: When making adjustments, only turn the needle
1/12 turn at a time. Never exceed 1/4 turn in (1 turn out from
closed) or the engine will be damaged.
