• Start the engine and check the
maximum engine speed
If the speed is not within range, repeat the
Engine Speed – Adjust procedure.
High Altitude Kits
At higher altitudes, the standard air-fuel mixture
is too rich and will cause decreased
performance and increased fuel consumption. A
rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and
make starting difficult. Operation at higher
altitudes for extended periods of time may
increase emissions.
Proper operation can be ensured by installing a
high altitude kit when required. An altitude kit
consists of a smaller diameter main fuel jet and
an adjustment to the pilot screw. Refer to
Carburetor – Inspect/Adjust for instructions on
replacing the main fuel jet.
Note: At elevations greater than 8000 feet
above sea level, the engine may experience
decreased performance even with the high
altitude kit installed.
Ignition Coil – Test/Adjust
Drain the fuel from the fuel tank and the
carburetor. Remove the fuel tank, air filter
housing, and carburetor.
Adjust the ignition coil:
Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance
between the ignition coil (1) and the flywheel (2).
The clearance should be 0.2 – 0.6mm. If the
clearance is out of the acceptable range, loosen
screws (3) and adjust the coil so that the
clearance is within range. Retighten the screws.
Repeat for the second ignition coil.
