Adjusting the Carburetor

Your carburetor does not have a high
speed adjusting screw (H screw).
Adjustment of maximum engine speed is
not necessary.
The carburetor is set at the factory to
provide an optimum fuel-air mixture
under most operating conditions.
Idling and part-load emissions are
minimized by limiting the idle mixture.
