Standard Setting
– Shut down the engine.
– Turn the high speed screw (H)
slowly counterclockwise as far as
stop, but not more than a
3/4 turn.
– Turn the low speed screw (L)
slowly clockwise as far as stop,
but not more than a
3/4 turn.
Check running behavior:
The engine must idle and
accelerate smoothly.
Adjusting engine idle speed
– Allow engine to warm up.
Engine stalls at idle speed
– Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
clockwise until the engine runs
smoothly
– the cutting tool must not rotate.
Cutting tool rotates when engine
is idling
– Turn the idle speed screw (LA)
counterclockwise until the cutting
tool stops rotating – then turn the
screw another full turn in the
same direction.
Erratic idling behavior, engine
stops even though setting of LA
screw has been corrected, poor
acceleration
Idle setting is too lean.
– Turn the low speed screw (L)
counterclockwise, no further than
stop, until the engine runs and
accelerates smoothly.
