Exhaust emissions are controlled by the
design of the fundamental engine
parameters and components (e.g.
carburation, ignition, timing and valve or
port timing) without the addition of any
major hardware.
General Information
The carburetor comes from the factory
with a standard setting.
This setting provides an optimum fuel-air
mixture under most operating
conditions.

– Low speed screw (L) = 1
Standard setting B

setting as follows: Turn the low
speed screw (L) carefully clockwise
as far as stop, then turn it
counterclockwise.
