Correctly adjusted carburetor

A correctly adjusted carburetor means that the machine ac-
celerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a little 
at max speed. Furthermore, the cutting attachment must not 
rotate/move at idling. A too lean adjusted low speed needle L 
may cause starting dif

fi

 culties and bad acceleration.

A too lean adjusted high speed needle H gives lower power = 
less capacity, bad acceleration and/or damage to the engine.
A too rich adjustment of the two speed needles L and H gives 
acceleration problems or too low working speed.

MAINTENANCE

Final setting of the idling speed T

Adjust the idling speed with the 
screw T, if it is necessary to re-
adjust. First turn the idle speed 
adjusting screw T clockwise 
until the cutting attachment 
starts to rotate/move.
Then turn, counter-clockwise 
until the cutting attachment 
stops. A correctly adjusted idle 
speed setting occurs when the 
engine runs smoothly in every 
position. It should also be good 
margin to the rpm when the 
cutting attachment starts to 
rotate/move.

CAUTION! Contact your ser-
vicing dealer, if the idle speed 
setting cannot be adjusted so 
that the cutting attachment 
stops. Do not use the machine 
until it has been properly ad-
justed or repaired.

High speed needle H

The high speed needle H 
in

fl

 uences the power, speed, 

temperature and fuel con-
sumption of the machine. A 
too lean adjusted high speed 
needle H (high speed needle 
H closed too much) gives over-
revs and damages the engine.  
Do not let the machine run at 
full speed for more than 10 
seconds.
Turn the high speed needle 
very slowly clockwise until 
engine speed is reduced. 
Thereafter turn the high speed 
needle very slowly counter-
clockwise and stop when the 
engine begins to run roughly. 
Then turn the high speed 
needle slowly the minimum 
amount clockwise until the 
engine runs smoothly.
The high speed needle H is 
correctly set when the ma-
chine ”4-cycles” a little. If the 
machine ”whistles” the set-
ting is too lean. If there is too 
much smoky exhaust gas at 
the same time as the machine 
”4-cycles” much, the setting is 
too rich.

NOTE! For optimum setting of the carburetor, contact a 
quali

fi

 ed servicing dealer who has a revolution counter at 

his disposal.
