CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
The carburetor has been pre-set at the
factory and readjustment should not be
necessary. However, if the carburetor does
need to be adjusted, contact your nearest
Craftsman Service Center.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed. Overspeeding the
engine above the factory high speed
setting can be dangerous. If you think the
engine-governed high speed needs
adjusting, contact your nearest Craftsman
Service Center, which has the proper
equipment and experience to make any
necessary adjustments.
