THROTTLE CONTROL
SYNCHRONIZING THROTTLE BODIES
1. Check that the throttle link operates smoothly.
2. Loosen screw 1.
3. Check that the tip of both the STBD and PORT throttle stop
screws 2 contacts the throttle lever stop 3.
This condition indicates the throttle valve is completely
closed.
!
Do not attempt to adjust the throttle stop screw.
4. In the condition of step 3, insert a thickness gauge of 0.2 mm
(0.008 in) between the throttle stop screw 2 and throttle
lever stop 3.
With the link rod 4 pushed up lightly, tighten screw 1
securely.
5. Operate the throttle lever from complete close position to full
open position 2 – 3 times repeatedly and check that both the
STBD and PORT throttle valves open and close completely.
Also check that both the throttle valves start to open simulta-
neously when the throttle lever is gradually opened from the
complete close position.
6. As necessary, repeat steps 2 – 5.
