CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
The idle speed of the engine is adjustable through the
Air filtedMuffler cover (Fig. 28).
NOTE: Careless adjustments can seriously damage your
unit. An authorized service dealer should make
carburetor adjustments.
Check Fuel Mixture
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel is usually the reason for
the unit not running properly. Drain and refill the tank with
fresh, properly mixed fuel prior to making any
adjustments. Refer to Oil and Fuel Information Pg. 9.
Clean Air Filter
The condition of the air filter is important to the operation
of the unit. A dirty air filter will restrict air flow and change
the air/fuel mixture. This is often mistaken for an out of
adjustment carburetor. Check the condition of the air
filter before adjusting the idle speed screw. Refer to Air
Filter Maintenance Pg. 16.

NOTE: The cutting attachment should not rotate when
the engine idles.
3. If the cutting attachment rotates when the engine idles,
turn the idle speed screw counterclockwise 1/8 of a
turn at a time (as needed), to reduce idle speed.
Checking the fuel mixture, cleaning the air filter, and
adjusting the idle speed should solve most engine
problems.
If not and:
* the engine will not idle,
* the engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration,
* there is a loss of engine power,
have the carburetor adjusted by an authorized service
dealer.
