Fine tuning for operation at high 
altitude
A slight correction of the setting may be 
necessary if engine power is not 
satisfactory when operating at high 
altitude:
: Check the standard setting. 
: Warm up the engine. 
Turn the high speed screw (H) clockwise 
(leaner) – no further than stop. 
If the setting is too lean there is 
a risk of engine damage due to 
insufficient lubrication and 
overheating.
: If the engine is down on power, 
check the spark arresting screen in 
the muffler.
: Wait for the muffler to cool down. 
: Take out the screw (1).
: Remove the spark arresting
screen (2).
: Clean the spark arresting screen.
If the screen is damaged or heavily
carbonized, fit a new one.
: Refit the spark arresting screen.
: Fit the screw and tighten it down 
firmly.
* see "Guide to Using this Manual"
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 result in trouble in operation.
