Level 2.

Tools required:

Screwdriver, tachometer (Echo P/N 99051130017)

Parts required:

None.

NOTE
Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in compli-
ance with Emission Regulations. This carburetor does not have

use carburetor adjustment procedures provided in the Warranty
Emissions Booklet.

Before Adjustment

Check that:

• Air filter is clean and properly installed.

• Spark arrestor screen is free of carbon.

• Blower pipes are installed.

1.

Start engine, run at idle for one minute.

2.
