GENERAL MAINTENANCE
To help prevent cold weather fouling (a buildup of carbon and
unburned fuel on the spark plug) make sure you thoroughly
warm up your ATV's engine before riding. Before inspecting a
spark plug, clean the area around the spark plug to prevent
dirt from entering the engine when removing or installing the
spark plug.
To adjust the engine idle speed (RPM) follow this procedure:
Adjust the idle to the correct RPM after making sure
the engine is at normal operating temperature.
Adjust the spark plug's ground electrode
gap to 0.028- 0.032 in. (0.7-0.8 mm). Use a
wire-type feeler gauge to check the gap.
When installing a spark plug, be sure to tighten it securely. A
new spark plug should be tightened 1/2 turn once the washer
contacts the cylinder head. A used spark plug should be tight-
ened 1/8 -1/4 turn once the washer contacts the cylinder head.
ENGINE IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
To properly adjust the engine idle speed on your ATV, a ta-
chometer is required. If you do not have one, take your ATV to
an authorized KYMCO ATV dealer.
NOTE: The idle adjustment screw is located on the
right-hand side of the carburetor.
