3. Using a tachometer, check the idle speed. If it is not between 650 - 850 RPM, readjust it to 750 RPM using idle speed adjusting screw No. 1 (SAS1) (Figure 12).
4. After the idle speed has been verified, adjust the basic ignition timing to 8 degrees BTDC using the Service Manual Procedure.

NOTE: This is a new basic timing specification.

Recheck the idle speed and adjust if necessary.

5. Disconnect tachometer and reinstall air cleaner assembly.
