Adjusting the Carburetor:
The carburetor comes from the factory with a standard setting. This setting provides an
optimum fuel-air mixture under most operating conditions. With this carburetor it is only
possible to adjust the high speed and low speed screws within fine limits. Standard
Setting
Stopping the engine
Check chain tension
Check the air filter and clean or replace as
necessary. Check that the throttle cable is
properly adjusted
–
readjust if necessary
–
see chapter on "Adjusting the Throttle
Cable".
Check the spark arresting screen (not in all
versions) and clean or replace as necessary.
Carefully turn both adjusting screws
counterclockwise as far as stop:
–
The high
speed screw (H) is 3/4 turn open.
–
The low
speed screw (L) is 3/4 turn open.
Start and warm up the engine.
Adjust idle speed with the idle speed screw
(LA) so that the chain does not run.
WARNING
! Do not adjust the carburetor by yourself. Contact our company service center
for adjusting the carburetor.
Fine Tuning:
A slight correction of the setting of the high speed screw (H) may be necessary if engine
power is not satisfactory when operating at high altitude or at sea level.
Rule of thumb
: Turn the high speed screw (H) about one quarter of a turn for every 1000
m change in altitude. Conditions for adjustment:
Carry out the standard setting without disturbing the high speed screw (H).
Warm up the engine for about 3 minutes.
Open the throttle wide. At high altitude
Turn the high speed screw (H) clockwise (leaner), no further than stop, until
there is no noticeable increase in engine speed. At sea level
Turn the high speed screw (H) counterclockwise (richer), no further than stop,
until there is no noticeable increase in engine speed. It is possible that
maximum engine speed may be reached with the standard setting.
Adjusting Idle Speed:
It is usually necessary to change the setting of the idle speed screw (LA) after every
correction to the low speed screw 27 (L).
Warm up the engine for about 3 minutes. Engine stops while idling
Turn the idle speed screw (LA) slowly clockwise until the engine runs smoothly
–
the chain must not rotate.
Chain rotates when engine is idling
Turn the idle speed screw (LA) counterclockwise until the chain stops rotating
and then turn the screw about another 1/2 to 3/4 turn in the same direction.
