ADJUSTMENT
Emission Models (with limiter caps)
Level 2.
Tools required:
Screwdriver, Tachometer (ECHO P/N 99051130017).
Parts required:
None.
NOTE
Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in compli-
ance with emission regulations. In addition, the carburetor is
equipped with HI and LO needle adjustment limiters that prevent
settings outside acceptable limits.
1.
Before adjusting the carburetor, clean or replace the air filter and
spark arrester screen.
2.
Start engine and run for several minutes to reach operating
temperature.
3.
Stop engine. Turn HI speed needle (A) CCW (counter clockwise)
to stop. Turn LO speed needle (B) midway between full CCW and
CW (clockwise) stops.
4.
Idle Speed Adjustment.
• Start engine and turn “idle” speed adjustment screw (C) CW
until the blades begin to move, then turn the screw CCW until
blades stop moving. Turn screw CCW an additional 1/4 turn.
5.
Accelerate to full throttle for 2-3 seconds to clear excess fuel from
engine then return to idle. Accelerate to full throttle to check for
smooth transition from idle to full throttle. If engine hesitates, turn
LO needle (B) CCW an additional 1/8 turn and repeat acceleration.
Continue adjusting until smooth acceleration results.
6.
Check HI speed RPM at W.O.T. (Wide Open Throttle). HI speed
RPM should be set to specifications found on page 9 "Specifica-
tions" of this manual.
7.
Check idle speed and reset if necessary. If a tachometer is avail-
able, idle speed should be set to the specification found on page 9
"Specifications" of this manual.
WARNING
DANGER
When carburetor adjustment is completed, blades should not
move at idle, otherwise serious personal injury may result.
