Adjustment of idling speed
CAUTION:
The carburetor is factory
adjusted. Never adjust other than idling
speed. For other adjustments, ask your autho-
rized service center.
Appropriate low-speed rotation is 2,800 min
(rpm).
If it is necessary to change the rotation speed,
adjust the idle speed with a Phillips screwdriver.
If the engine stops or runs unsteadily at idle, turn
the adjusting screw to the right, and the idling
speed increases. If the machine blows too strong
at idle, turn the adjusting screw to the left, and
the idling speed drops.

Checking throttle valve
If the control cable is bent or caught, the throttle
valve does not contact with the idle adjusting
screw, and it prevents the engine from proper
idling. In such a case, reposition the control
cable to ensure proper valve movement.
