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
idle adjusting screw. To increase the engine
idling speed, turn the idle adjusting 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.
