Carburetor Icing
NOTE: Running engine with cover positioned for cold weather operation in normal conditions can
damage engine.
Carburetor icing can take place when certain combinations of temperature and humidity exist.
Result of carburetor icing is rough running at idle or low speed as well as black or white smoke.
To reduce likelihood of carburetor icing, air cleaner cover can be rotated to draw warmer air from
muffl er side. For cold weather operation, position air cleaner cover with snowfl ake decal out.
For normal operation, position air cleaner cover with sun decal out.
