Inspection
Throttle Cable
Depress and release the throttle lever.
It should operate smoothly and return
to its initial position without any hesi-
tation. Refer to an authorized SEA-DOO
dealer if necessary.
Carburetor-Equipped Models
Do not activate throttle lever unneces-
sarily, when engine is not running. Car-

Carburetor Adjustment
Carburetor adjustment is very impor-
tant to allow good engine operation and
therefore watercraft performance. Car-
buretor adjustment requires technical
knowledge and experience to have the
correct mixture supplied to the engine.
CAUTION: Serious engine damage
can occur with improper carburetor
adjustment.

performed by the dealer.

gine emission level and lead the en-
gine not to meet the California emis-
sion control regulations.
