CHECKING THE ENGINE IDLING SPEED
TIP
•
Because the air pressure is lower at high alti-
tudes, the air-fuel mixture will become richer. If
the idling speed is low, turn the idle screw
clockwise to increase the speed before the ad-
justment.
• Before adjusting the engine idling speed, make
sure that the air filter element is not clogged,
the engine compression is proper, and the
throttle grip free play is proper.
• Adjust the engine idling speed with the starter
knob pulled in completely.
1. Start the engine, and warm this up until the oil
has reached the specified temperature.
2. Measure the coolant temperature using the
Yamaha diagnostic tool.
3. Install:
• Digital tachometer
TIP
Get the high tension cord “1” of the ignition coil
pinched in the detector “a” of the digital tachom-
eter.
