5.10 cu in (84.9 cm3) and a power output of 4.8 kW                               (no further than stop)
(6.44 hp).
Like the MS 660, it is suitable for wood harvesting   High speed screw H         Open 3/4 turn
operations and cutting work in big timber.                                       (no further than stop)

essential to observe all country-specific safety
regulations and the safety precautions outlined in
the instruction manual.

On this carburetor the user may make corrections to
the high speed screw (H) and low speed screw (L)
only within a range of 270° (about 3/4 turn). This
means that the full load, part load and idle setting
remains within a favorable range for the engine.
It is still possible to fine-tune the carburetor to suit
other operating conditions, e.g. a change of altitude
(mountains, vs. sea level).

Most of these PDFs embed fonts with a shifted character map, so the text above was recovered rather than copied — read it as a faithful but imperfect transcription, and treat the page image above each block as the authority where the two disagree — the figures exist only there, because they are vector drawings that text extraction cannot keep.
