iDLE SToP SCrEW:
The idle stop screw adjusts the closure of the carburettor barrel. We recommend that
the idle stop screw be adjusted so that the carburettor barrel stays open about /6"
(mm). Turning the screw clockwise will cause the barrel to stay open more. Turning
the screw counterclockwise will allow the barrel to close more. If the carburettor barrel
stays open too far, the engine will idle very high and the clutch will never disengage. This
will damage the clutch very quickly. If the idle stop screw is closed too far, the engine
may die during idle. Ideally, the engine should idle smoothly, yet slow enough so
that the clutch stays disengaged.
HigH SPEED nEEDLE VaLVE:
The high speed needle valve is preset from the factory for the initial starting procedure.
Do
not make adjustments to it at this time.
The high speed needle valve is used to meter
the air/fuel mixture at full throttle. Turn the needle valve clockwise to lean the mixture or
turn the needle valve counterclockwise to richen the mixture.

Warning
Under no circumstances should you operate the engine without the air filter installed on the carburettor. The air filter prevents
dust and debris from entering the engine and damaging it. If you operate your engine at any time without the air filter installed, the engine
will not be covered under warranty should it need repair.
