throw it in the trash. Take the oil to
your local recycling centre or a service
station for reclamation.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
Never make adjustments to the carburetor. The carburetor was set at the
factory to operate efficiently under most conditions. Only a qualified service
technician should adjust the carburetor if it is required.
MODIFYING THE CARBURETOR FOR HIGH ALTITUDES
At high altitude, the standard air-fuel mixture is too rich, causing increased fuel
consumption and decreased performance. A rich mixture will also foul the
spark plug and cause hard starting.
A qualified technician can improve high altitude performance with certain
modifications. Have your carburetor modified if the engine will routinely be
operated at altitudes above 5,000 ft (1,500 m). Even with carburetor
modification, engine power will decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000 ft
(305 m) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on power will be greater
than this is if no modification is made.
NOTICE! When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude
operation, the air fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use.
Operation at altitudes below 5,000 ft (1,500 m) may cause the
engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage. When
using this engine at low altitudes, have a qualified technician return
the carburetor to original factory specifications.
