CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
Never make adjustments to the carburetor. The carburetor was set at the
factory to operate efficiently under most conditions. Only a qualified
service technician should adjust the carburetor if it is required.
MODIFYING THE CARBURETOR FOR HIGH ALTITUDES
At high altitude, the standard air-fuel mixture is too rich, causing
increased fuel consumption and decreased performance. A rich
mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
A qualified technician can improve high altitude performance with certain modifications.
Have your carburetor modified if the engine will routinely be operated at altitudes
above 5,000 ft (1,500 m). Even with carburetor modification, engine power will
decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000 ft (305 m) increase in altitude. The effect of
altitude on power will be greater than this is if no modification is made.
NOTICE! When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation,
the air fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at altitudes
below 5,000 ft (1,500 m) may cause the engine to overheat and result in
serious engine damage. When using this engine at low altitudes, have a
qualified technician return the carburetor to original factory specifications.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM INFORMATION
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons
and oxides of nitrogen. Control of these emissions is very important
for personal and environmental health.
The following instructions must be followed in order to keep the
emissions from your engine within Canadian emission standards.
1. Do not remove or alter any part of the intake, fuel or exhaust systems.
2. Do not alter or bypass the governor linkage or speed-adjusting mechanism
to cause the engine to operate outside its design specifications.
PROBLEMS THAT MAY AFFECT EMISSIONS
If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine
inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.
14 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
V 4.0 79cc OHV Gas Engine
1. Hard starting or stalling after starting.
2. Rough idle.
3. Misfiring or backfiring under load.
4. Afterburning (backfiring)
5. Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption
REPLACEMENT PARTS
The emission control systems on your engine were designed, built and
certified to conform to Canadian emission regulations. The use of genuine
parts is recommended whenever maintenance is done to the engine. Genuine
replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the original
parts. Using replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality
may impair the effectiveness of your emission control system.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of an aftermarket part to certify that use of
the part will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission regulations.
SERVICE THE AIR FILTER
NOTICE! Operating the engine with a damaged or missing air filter will
allow dust and debris to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear or
scoring on the engine pistons. Always ensure the air filter is in place.
A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the carburetor, reducing engine
performance. If the engine is used in very dusty areas, clean the air
filter more frequently than specified in the maintenance schedule.
1. Remove the air cleaner’s outside cover. Be careful to prevent
dirt and debris from falling into the air cleaner assembly.
2. Remove the air filter from the air filter housing.
3. Clean the housing interior with warm soap and water.
Allow to dry before reassembly.
4. Inspect the air filter to see if you can clean it or if it should be
discarded. Discard if it is too dirty and replace with a new filter.
a. Clean dirty air filter with warm water and mild soap or a non-
flammable solvent. Replace the water as necessary, until the
water is no longer dirty. Dispose of the oil contaminated
water in accordance with your local by-laws.

This is excess oil from the filter and the effect is only temporary.
5. Reinstall the filter into the housing and secure in place.
6. Install the air filter assembly onto the carburetor and secure with screw.
REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG
NOTICE! Using an incorrect spark plug can cause engine damage. Only
replace a spark plug with a model recommended by the manufacturer.
The spark plug must be properly gapped and free of deposits for the
best performance. Check local bylaws to see if a resistor spark plug is
required to suppress ignition signals. Replace the included spark plug
with a resistor spark plug if required.
1. Remove any dirt from around the spark plug area.
2. Unclip the spark plug lead and remove the spark plug with a
spark plug wrench. This will have a rubber pad inside the
socket to protect the spark plug’s ceramic coating.
3. Inspect the spark plug. Replace it if damaged, badly fouled, the
sealing washer is in poor condition or the electrode is worn.
4. Check the gap with a spark plug gauge
as shown in Figure 6. If necessary,
reset the gap (See Specifications).
a. Correct the gap by carefully
bending the side electrode. Check
the gap after each adjustment.
