screw to obtain the desired idle speed. If there are no idle
preferences, turn the screw until the engine stops.

speed does not change. Readjust if necessary.

improperly adjusted or routed incorrectly, or it may be damaged.
Be sure to correct any of these conditions before riding.

If damaged, replace it or it will allow dirt into the carburetor.
