A. To adjust the model L Scheb-

TO believe is the model you have, first
adjust the screw OF the aid valve so
that the valve sets firmly, hut not
tightly. Start the cngin> and let II
run until it is warm, and then turn
down on the main CTS adjusting
screw a notch at time until there
Is an explosion in the CranS-casc. or
a back-fire in the carburetor Then
turn up on the screw about two
notches, and little more If you find
the engine speeds up when doing it.
This Amusement which is the low
speed adjustment and must not be
changed when making the intermed-
late or high-speed adjustment
should be made with the spark fully
retarded. Next advance the spark

and then turn it back a little. Next

In 2-cyCle engine, weak mix

crank case explosion, and a rich
mixture by missing.
The spark should be advanced
as the engine is speeded up, and
retarded as the engine slows down.
Experiment with IT, and have 1t Just
as far advanced as you can with

When the engine is cold. it will
act as though the mixture were
too weak because the gasoline does

not remedy this.
