Adjusting the engine idling speed
The engine idling speed must be checked and, if
necessary, adjusted as follows at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart.
TIP
A diagnostic tachometer is needed to make this
adjustment.
1. Start the engine and warm it up.
TIP
The engine is warm when it quickly responds to the
throttle.
2. Attach the tachometer to the spark plug lead.
3. Check the engine idling speed and, if neces-
sary, adjust it to specification by turning the
throttle stop screw at the carburetor. To in-
crease the engine idling speed, turn the throt-
tle stop screw in direction (a), and to decrease
it, turn the screw in direction (b).
TIP
If the specified idling speed cannot be obtained as
described above, have a Yamaha dealer make the
adjustment.
