Carburetor 

Maintenence

Should you experience difficulty with 
the carburetor of your engine:

• Remove the high-speed needle valve 
and flush out the spray bar with clean 
fuel. Replace the high-speed needle 
valve.

• Factory settings for the idle needle 
valve are about 4 turns out from a fully 
closed position.

• The high-speed needle valve is set 
to about 2 1/3 turns out from a fully 
closed position and is a good point to 
start from.

Generally speaking, there are very few 
things that will keep today’s modern 
gasoline engines from starting. To that 
end, make sure you are using good 
quality “fresh” fuel, the spark plug 
is good and the ignition system is 
working properly. 

Check the battery voltage to make 
sure the ignition is getting the proper 
voltage. Should the engine fail to start 
after these items are verified, refer to 
the Troubleshooting Guide on page 12.
