7.
Rotate power adjusting screw (Fig. 32)
clockwise-in 1/8-turn at a time until engine
misses because of a lean gasoline mixture. Then
rotate screw counterclockwise-out 1/8-turn at
time until engine runs unevenly because of a rich
gasoline mixture. Next, rotate power adjusting
screw clockwise, back to the midpoint between
the rich and lean setting, so engine runs
smoothly.
Note:
Wait several seconds between each
1/8-turn setting so engine can adjust to
the new fuel mixture.
8.
Move throttle to idle speed. Next, rotate idle
speed screw until engine idles fast—1750 rpm.
9.
Rotate idle mixture screw (Fig. 32) clockwise-in
1/8-turn at a time until engine begins to miss
because of a lean mixture. Then rotate screw
counterclockwise-out 1/8-turn at a time until
engine runs unevenly because of rich mixture.
Next, rotate idle mixture screw clockwise, back
to the mid-point between rich and lean settings.
Note:
Wait several seconds between each
1/8-turn setting so engine can adjust to
the new fuel mixture.
10. Again, rotate idle speed screw (Fig. 32) until
engine idles at 1750 rpm.
11. Check carburetor adjustment by quickly moving
throttle from low speed to high speed. Engine
should accelerate without hesitation or
sputtering. If engine does not accelerate properly,
