idle setting
402799-10
The idle setting of the carburetor significantly influences the vehi-
cle’s starting behavior, the stability of the idle speed, and the
vehicle’s response when accelerating. This means that an engine
with a correctly set idle speed will be easier to start than one with
an incorrectly set idle speed.
Info
The carburetor and its components are subject to
increased wear caused by engine vibration. Wear can
result in malfunctioning.
The factory setting for the carburetor is set for the following val-
ues.
Height above sea
level
301 … 750 m (988 … 2,461 ft)
Ambient tempera-
ture
16 … 24 °C (61 … 75 °F)
