Carburetor Adjustment
Every unit is run at the factory and
the carburetor is set in compliance
with Emission Regulations. In
addition, the carburetor is equipped
with “
H
” (High Speed) and (“
L
” (Low

that prevent settings outside
acceptable limits.
Engine Break-In
New engines must be operated a
minimum duration of two tanks of
fuel break-in before carburetor
adjustments can be made. During the break-in period your engine
performance will increase and exhaust emissions will stabilize. Idle speed
can be adjusted as required.

If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,100 feet ASL, the
carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the engine below
1,100 feet ASL, otherwise severe engine damage can result.
