17 HP KAWASAKI SPEED CONTROL
(THROTTLE CABLE HOOK-UP)
c) Pull cable upward (rearward for 17 HP Kawasaki) until
alignment holes in control plate
line up. For Kawasaki 15/64"(6mm) drill bit can be inserted
through these two holes to align them. For Kohler use a
19/64" drill bit. Once the holes are aligned, tighten clamp
onto throttle cable.
d) Be sure the choke adjusting screw just contacts the choke
lever when the throttle control is in the full throttle
position. Choke link should not move when throttle control
is moved to the full throttle position. Choke must be
completely closed when throttle lever is moved to the full
forward "CHOKE" position.
e) This step needs to be done after the unit has been assembled
and the engine has been started. Refer to Section 4.
(Operation Instructions).
For Kohler and 14 HP Kawasaki engines :
Check the engine "STOP" position by moving the throttle
control fully to the rear. (Note: There is a detent toward
the lower end of the slot in the console for "IDLE"; the
"STOP" position is rearward from this detent).
For Kohler engines :
If the engine continues to run in the "STOP" position,
turn the kill switch adjusting screw inward until engine
stops, then give it an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn to assure
it will always function properly.
(The 14 HP Kawasaki kill switch is not adjustable) .
For 17 HP Kawasaki engines :
There is not a "STOP" position. The engine will continue to
run when the throttle control is moved past the rear detent.
Turn the ignition switch to the "off" position to stop the
engine.
For B&S Vanguard Engines:
a) Position the throttle control lever (on console) 1/8"
from the upper end of the slot. Route the throttle cable
along the right side of the upper handle, under the fuel
tank support, and position the cable on the right side
of the engine between the oil fill tube and engine.
b) Attach the inner wire to the appropriate throttle control
lever on the engine. Loosen the cable clamp on the engine,
place the cable behind it and pull up on the cable to move
