The second and third idie holes act as air bleed holes to mix with the fuel to create the correct ait/luet ratio. NOTE I: Both high speed and idle adjustment needles are pre-set by the engine manufacturer and should only be readjusted by an authorized Walbro service person. WITH BOTH NEEDLES SET AT 1% TURNS OPEN PROCEED AS FOLLOWS: 1. Start engine and adjust idle speed screw (not Idle needle) so that engine idles at a moderate speed slightly slower than clutch engagement. 2. Turn the idle needle clockwise (lean) until engine idles smoothly 8, Readjust speed screw to correct engine speed. 4. Continue turning idle needle clockwise until 2 decrease in ile RPM is evident. STOP. 5. Tum idle needle counterclockwise (rich) until ptimum smooth engine idle is obtained. 6. For your reference, always record the settings prior to releasing the engine to your customer. page 4HDA at High Speed Position High Speed Needle IY Idle Needle HIGH SPEED NEEDLE ADJUSTMENT With the engine at the high speed position the manifold vacuum draws the majority of the fuel from the carburetor nozzle. WITH BOTH NEEDLES SET AT 1% TURNS OPEN PROCEED AS FOLLOWS: 1. With the high speed needle set at 1% turns open the engine should be running at a slightly richer than normal high speed. Some engines will give a 4-cycling sound. 2. With the engine running at high speed tum the high speed needle clockwise (lean) until the engine runs smooth or into a 2-cycle sound. 3. Optimum adjustment is obtained when a very slight 4-cycling sound is heard. 4. For your reference always record the setting of the needles prior fo releasing the engine to your customer. page 5DIAPHRAGM INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY CARBURETOR esau ange as ndeaneing rahe CHECK VALVE sree aspen REPAIR TOOLS Part No. 400-595 ~ & PRESSURE GAUGE Recommended by Walbro engineers, this kit of specially designed carburetor tools is a must for every service man engaged in the repair of Walbro diaphragm carburetors.
