ADJUSTING THE CARBURETOR
Locate the adjustment screw on your machine
Wind the carb screw all the way in (clockwise).
Wind the carb screw 1.5 - 2 turns anti-clockwise.
Restart the starting procedure
This is the most common set up for the carburetor, however
you can fine tune it depending on how your strimmer is run-
ning:
Erratic idling behaviour or poor acceleration - the engine
needs more fuel so turn the adjustment screw anticlockwise
until the engine runs and accelerates smoothly.
Excessive exhaust smoke when idling - the engine is run-
ning too rich, so you need more air reaching the carburetor.
Turn the adjustment screw clockwise until the engine speed
drops. Now check that the engine still accelerates smoothly
when you apply the throttle.
