ADJUSTMENTS
Carburetor
High speed fuel calibration is maintained by fixed
high speed jet in the carburetor. Fixed jets are not
adjustable.
Idle Speed Adjustment
The idle speed adjusting knob is located at the end
of the steering handle. Before turning the knob, be
sure  the  throttle  is  at  SLOW  and  the  motor  has
reached normal operating temperature:
Low speed fuel calibration is set at the factory with
a range of adjustment provided. If your engine dis-
plays poor running quality at low speed or idle, ask
your  DEALER  to  perform  the  necessary  adjust-
ments.
Increase idle speed — turn knob clockwise
Decrease idle speed — turn knob counterclock-
wise
Steering Friction
The steering friction was set on your new motor be-
fore it left the factory. After the first 10 hours of ser-
vice, check to see that it is still correct; a slight drag
should be felt when turning the motor. If adjustment
is necessary, turn the adjustment screw:
Clockwise to increase friction; or
Counterclockwise to decrease friction.
