– Note the position and turn the idle air adjusting screw slowly
counterclockwise until the idle speed again begins to fall.

Info
If there is a big engine speed rise, reduce the idle
speed to a normal level and repeat the above steps.
If the procedure described here does not lead to sat-
isfactory results, the cause may be a wrongly dimen-
sioned idling jet.
If you can turn the idle air adjusting screw to the end

idling jet.
After changing the jet, start from the beginning with
the adjusting steps.
Following extreme air temperature or altitude changes,
adjust the idle speed again.
