"Auto" position, no external
load connected to the machine
and the engine running, check
the DC voltage at leads #222J
to #214 located at the idler
solenoid.
leads #222H to #213. No (zero)
volts is normal. If 12VDC IS
present, the control board may
be faulty. If no voltage is indi-

ing the engine in a high speed
condition, the idler solenoid
may be faulty. Also check for a
mechanical restriction in the
throttle linkage.
