Adjusting the Carburetor

General Information
Your carburetor is preset at the factory
with the standard setting.
This setting is designed to provide an
optimum fuel-air mixture under most
operating conditions.
The high speed screw alters the
engine's power output and the maximum
off-load engine speed.
If the setting is too lean there is
a risk of engine damage due to
insufficient lubrication and
overheating.
If the carburetor has to be adjusted from
scratch, first carry out the standard
setting.
