    For initial adjustments and starting, try these:

    Screw adjustment with “Lean” marking – close to seat, then open 3/4 turn

    Choke lever on the side – up to choke, down to run

    Lever on the top is the throttle – open about halfway

    T handle knob is main adjustment screw – close to seat, then open 2 full turns
