CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
Engine Break-In
New engines must be operated for a minimum duration of two tanks of
fuel before carburetor adjustments can be made. During the break-in
period your engine performance will increase and exhaust emissions will
stabilize. Idle speed can be adjusted as required.
High Altitude Operation
This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain satisfactory starting,
emission, and durability performance up to 1,100 feet mean sea level
(MSL) (96.0 kPa and below). To maintain proper engine operation and
emission compliance above 1,100 feet MSL the carburetor may need
to be adjusted by an authorized ECHO service dealer.
IMPORTANT
If the engine is adjusted for operation above 1,100 feet MSL, the
carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the engine below
1,100 feet MSL, otherwise severe engine damage can result.
IMPORTANT
For engine operation above 2,000 feet, turn the high-speed needle
lean (CW) until the engine runs between 7,000 and 8,000 RPM. Then
turn the low-speed needle lean (CW) until the engine does not
hesitate on acceleration.
For engine operation below 2,000 feet, turn the high-speed needle
rich (CCW) until the engine runs between 7,000 and 8,000 RPM.
Then turn the low-speed needle rich (CCW) until the engine does
not hesitate on acceleration.
DO NOT REMOVE LIMITER CAPS!
