4.8 Carburetor Adjustment
Note: Air cleaner must be in place and engine warm when making
adjustments to carburetor.
Only minor adjustments to carburetor are possible. Adjust mixture
screw (b) between limits to obtain best acceleration from idle to full
speed.
Adjust idle speed screw (a) with engine running and auto idle switch
on. Adjust auto idle speed to 2200 rpm.

ability, do not set the engine auto idle speed lower than 2200 rpm.
4.9 Long-Term Storage
Before storing generator for a long period of time:
4.9.1 Change the engine oil.
4.9.2 Disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor. Place open end of fuel line
into a suitable container and open fuel valve to drain fuel from tank.
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Drain fuel tank in a well-ventilated
area. DO NOT drain tank in an area with flames or sparks.
4.9.3 Loosen the drain screw on the carburetor and drain any remaining fuel
from carburetor.
4.9.4 Remove the spark plug and pour approximately 1 ounce (30 ml) of
clean engine oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine a few turns to
distribute the oil to the inside of the cylinder walls.
4.9.5 Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance is felt and leave handle in
this position. This ensures that the intake and exhaust valves are
closed.
4.9.6 Store generator in a clean, dry area. See engine owner's manual.
