.040 - .070
This speed control is adjusted by aligning the slot in the
(1.016 - 1.778 mm)
speed control lever with the alignment hole on the mounting
bracket. Place a pin through the two holes, place the
equipment throttle control to the wide open position, hook
the bowden cable end in the control as shown, and tighten
the cable housing clamp. In this position, the gap of .040"
- .070" (1.016 - 1.778 mm) should exist at the gap location

as illustrated. This will assure that the carburetor will go

DECREASE
The idle speed is adjusted by turning the idle speed screw
clockwise to increase engine R.P.M. and counter-

end of the tool onto the adjustment tab and bend the tab
to the left (toward the spark plug end) to increase engine
R.P.M. (diag. 14).
NOTE: Some engines use nylon bushings on the throttle
and choke linkage hook-up points to extend the life of
the linkage and to enhance the stability of the governor
system. Make sure they are in good condition and in place.
ADJUSTING RPM ON MEDIUM FRAME
VERTICAL
(up/down speed control)
To adjust the high speed RPM on Medium Frame Vertical
engines, move the control lever to the high speed pin
position (align high speed pin holes in the speed control
bracket). Place the slot on the straight end of tool (number
670326) onto the high speed adjustment tab as pictured.
Rotate the bent end of the tool counterclockwise to
increase RPM and clockwise to decrease RPM. (diag.
15).
