It is usually necessary to change the
setting of the idle speed screw (LA) after
every correction to the low speed
screw (L).
Fine Tuning for Operation at High
Altitude
A slight correction of the setting may be
necessary if the engine does not run
satisfactorily:
N Carry out standard setting.
N Warm up the engine.
N Turn high speed screw (H) slightly
clockwise (leaner) – no further than
stop.
NOTICE
After returning from high altitude, reset
the carburetor to the standard setting.
If the setting is too lean there is a risk of
engine damage due to insufficient
lubrication and overheating.
N If engine performance deteriorates,
check the spark arresting screen in
the muffler
N Let the muffler cool down
N Unscrew the screw (1)
N Pull out spark arresting screen (2)
N Clean the dirty spark arresting
screen, replace if damaged or
heavily carbonized
N Refit the spark arresting screen
N Fit screw
If there is a loss of engine power, the
machine is difficult to start or runs poorly
at idle, first check the spark plug.
Install a new spark plug after
approximately 100 operating hours or
earlier if the electrodes are
eroded/corroded.
The wrong fuel mix (too much engine oil
in the gasoline), a dirty air filter and
unfavorable running conditions (mostly
at part throttle etc.) affect the condition
of the spark plug. These factors cause
deposits to form on the insulator nose,
which may degrade performance.
Removing the Spark Plug
N Move Master Control lever to
STOP, 0 or †.
N Push the hand guard forward – the
chain is locked.
N Open the twist locks (1) by turning
them 1/4 turn counterclockwise with
the combination wrench.
N Remove the shroud (2).
