The carburetor comes from the factory
with a standard setting.
This setting provides an optimum fuel-air
mixture under most operating
conditions.
With this carburetor it is only possible to
adjust the high speed and low speed
screws within fine limits.
Standard Setting
: Shut off the engine.
: Inspect cutting blades and clean if
necessary (they must be clean,
move freely and not be warped).
: Check that throttle cable is properly
adjusted – readjust if necessary –
see chapter on "Adjusting the
Throttle Cable".
: Check spark arresting screen (not
fitted in all markets) and clean or
replace as necessary.
: Check the air filter and clean or
replace as necessary.
: Carefully turn both adjusting screws
counterclockwise as far as the stop:
The high speed screw (H) and low
speed screw (L) are now 3/4 turn
open.
: Start and warm up the engine.
: Adjust idle speed with the idle speed
screw (LA) so that the cutting
blades do not run.
