Setting procedure without a load (Blade can be

The machine is equipped with speed control in the ignition
Lsystem. It is extremely important to be aware of this when
adjusting the carburettor.

is idling the idle adjustment screw T should be turned anti-250R, 252RX: Speed control at: 13500 rpm

a little way until the engine runs smoothly. Run the machine warm for about 5 minutes mostly at full
throttle. When the carburettor is to be adjusted, apply full
throttle and turn the H-needle anti-clockwise until the engine
burbles or until the cap reaches its stop position. (If the engine
runs smoothly when the cap is in its stop position no further
adjustment is necessary!) Turn the H-needle slowly clockwise
until the engine runs absolutely smoothly. (Burbling has
stopped completely). Now screw the H-needle (anti-

clockwise) a few tenths of a turn.
Note that the engine should not be under load when you
adjust the high speed jet H. You should therefore remove the
cutting attachment, nut, support �ange and drive disc before
adjusting the high speed jet H.
The high speed jet H is adjusted correctly when the machine
burbles a little. If the machine races then the setting is too H
lean. If the engine produces a lot of smoke and burbles a lot
then the setting is too rich.
