2.

If necessary, remove the air filter to gain access to the idle adjustment screw.

3.

Turn the screw counterclockwise to reduce the idle speed, or clockwise to increase it.
The idle speed should be set as low as possible while still maintaining reliable
running characteristics.

4.

Reset the throttle trim on the transmitter to its original position.

Fine-Tuning the Carburetor

After fine-tuning your TRX 2.5R Racing Engine at the end of the break-in procedure, no major
adjustments to the fuel mixture are usually necessary. Make note of the temperature, humidity,
and barometric pressure at the time you finished fine tuning your carburetor. Current weather
conditions can be found online from national websites, local TV news websites, and television.
This information will be considered your baseline setting. You may need to adjust your
carburetor needles to compensate for changes in temperature and barometric pressure (air
density) from day to day. Generally, you’ll need to richen the fuel mixture when the weather is
colder than your baseline temperature and the air density is higher. Lean the fuel mixture when
weather is warmer than your baseline temperature and the air density is lower. The chart below
provides general guidelines on how weather conditions affect air density when they move
higher or lower than your baseline setting (see page 14 for detailed info on how air density
affects mixture settings).
