Access.

(1)

Be sure that the unit is turned off. If there is a chance that someone will turn it on, disconnect the battery.

(2)

Open the left side access door.

(3)

See paragraph 4-62 and remove the air cleaner.

b. Inspect.

(1)

Check for signs of fuel leakage.

(2)

Check for loose or missing linkages.

(3)

Check that float is not damaged.

c. Adjust. (See figure 4-34).

(1)

If necessary to reset the float level, use long round nose pliers to bend the lip of the float. With the carburetor

casting inverted and the float resting lightly against the needle in its seat, there should be 5/16-inch (7.94 mm) with metal

float or 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) with Styrofoam plastic float clearance between the bowl cover gasket and the free end of the

float (side opposite needle seat).

(2)

The carburetor has a fuel idle adjustment which affects operation under light or no load conditions. If the

adjustment has been disturbed, turn the idle adjustment screw (needle off its seat) 1 to 1-1/2 turns to permit starting.

Then, readjust for smooth idle condition.

Forcing the needle against its seat will damage it. The needle does not completely shut off

fuel when turned fully in.

(3)

The throttle stop screw should be set for the desired idle speed when the engine is operating with no load

connected.

(4)

If repair or replacement is necessary, notify direct support maintenance.

(5)

Install the air cleaner (see para 4-62).
