Symptoms & remedies

SymptomRemedy
Engine runs unevenly at half or full load due to faulty carburetion1. Start engine and allow it to warm up. 2. Push in on the governor mechanism to slow the unit down to about 400 to 500 rpm. 3. Set idle adjustment so engine runs smoothly. 4. Release governor mechanism to allow engine to accelerate. If engine accelerates evenly and without hesitation, main adjustment is correct. If not, turn needle outward about one half turn and again slow the engine down and release the mechanism. Continue until the engine accelerates evenly and without a hesitation after releasing the governor. 5. If engine tends to hunt (alternate increase and decrease of speed), open the main adjusting needle a little more. Do not open more than one half turn beyond the maximum power point.
