ENGINE
Maintenance, repair, or replacement of
the emission control devices and sys-
tems, which are being done at the cus-
tomers expense, may be performed by
any non-road engine repair establish-
ment or individual. Warranty repairs must
be performed by an authorized engine
manufacturer's service outlet.
TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL
CABLE
The throttle control has been preset at the
factory and adjustment should not be
necessary. Check adjustment as de+
scribed below before loosening cable. If
adjustment is necessary, proceed as fol-
lows:
• With engine not running, move throttle
control lever from slow to choke posi-
tion. Slowly move lever from choke to
fast position.
• Check to see if hole in throttle lever and
hole in speed control bracket are
aligned,
° If holes are not aligned, loosen cable
clamp screw and align the holes by in-
serting a pencil or a 1/4" drill bit
through both holes.
• Pull throttle cable up to remove slack
and tighten cable clamp screw. Re-
move alignment pencil or drill bit.
TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the
factory and adjustment should not be
necessary. However, minor adjustment
may be required to compensate for differ-
ences in fuel, temperature, altitude or
load. If the carburetor does need adjust-
ment, proceed as follows:
In general, turning the adjusting needles
in (clockwise) decreases the supply of
fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air
mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out
(counterclockwise) increases the supply
of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/
air mixture.
