Adjusting the carburetorThe carburetor is an important part of
the engine and requires very sophisti-
cated adjustment. Therefore, most
carburetor adjustments should be left
to a Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowledge
and experience. The adjustment
described in the following section,
however, may be serviced by the
owner as part of routine mainte-
nance.

cCThe carburetor has been set and
extensively tested at the Yamaha
factory. Changing these settings
without sufficient technical knowl-
edge may result in poor perfor-
mance of or damage to the engine.

Adjusting the engine idling
speedThe engine idling speed must be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted
as follows at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart.NOTE:
A diagnostic tachometer is needed to
make this adjustment.1. Attach the tachometer to the
spark plug lead.
2. Start the engine and warm it up
for several minutes at
1,000Ð2,000 r/min while occa-
sionally revving it to 4,000Ð5,000
r/min.NOTE:
The engine is warm when it quickly
responds to the throttle.
