CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS

Carburetor adjustment is critical and if done

improperly can permanently damage your

unit We recommend you contact an Autho

rized Service Dealer for adjustments.

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT. Turn the Idle

Speed Screw clockwise until it stops. Now

turn the screw counterclockwise 4-1/2

turns. This should allow the engine to run

without the chain turning. If the chain

speed is correct when engine runs without
