WARNING
WHEN ADJUSTING THE FUEL NEEDLE DO NOT TOUCH THE ENGINE
HOUSING. THE HOUSING HEATS UP QUICKLY TO A TEMPERATURE
WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS IF TOUCHED.
3. Using a small regular tip screwdriver, slowly rotate the Fuel Needle clockwise
then counterclockwise. Listen to the sound of the engine and adjust the
Carburetor Fuel Needle to the setting smoothest and strongest. This setting
should be the correct Fuel Needle setting.
4. Rotate the Formulation Valve to ON position.
5. If the engine stops or hesitates, immediately return the Formulation Valve to
OFF and rotate the Fuel Needle counterclockwise 1/16th turn or less. Repeat
steps 3 and 4 until the engine no longer hesitates or stops when beginning to fog.
ADJUSTING THE METERING LEVER
The Metering Lever setting affects how easy the machine is to start. When the
Metering lever is properly set, it allows the proper amount of gasoline to flow
through the Carburetor for starting. However, if the Metering Lever is not set
properly, the Metering Diaphragm may push too far or too little on the Metering
Lever allowing too much or too little of gasoline into the engine.
If the Metering Lever is set too far in, the movement of the Metering Diaphragm
will not be sufficient to open the Inlet Needle Valve the required amount. This will
make the engine hard to start because it will not be getting enough gasoline.
If the Metering Lever is set too far out, the movement of the Metering Diaphragm
will open the Inlet Needle Valve too far. This will make the engine hard to start
because it will be getting too much gasoline.
