4.9 Carburetor Adjustment (Fig. 9)

4.9.1 Start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating temperature.

4.9.2 Set the pilot screw (a) 2 turns out. See Note.

4.9.3 With the engine idling, turn the pilot screw (a) in or out to the setting that produc-

es the highest rpm.

4.9.4 Aer the pilot screw is adjusted, turn the throttle stop screw (b) to obtain the stan-

dard idle speed. See Technical Data.

Note: On some engines the pilot screw is fitted with a limiter cap (c) to prevent excessive

enrichment of the air-fuel mixture in order to comply with emission regulations. The

mixture is set at the factory and no adjustment should be necessary. Do not attempt to

remove the limiter cap. The limiter cap cannot be removed without breaking the pilot

screw.
