Engine RPM Adjustment, Continued:
6. To reduce RPM, loosen the accelerator cable retaining nut on the outside of the electrical box wall and
tighten the retaining nut on the inside of the wall until the specified RPM is reached (Figure 14-4,
Page 14-7 or Figure 14-5, Page 14-7). To increase RPM, loosen the cable retaining nut inside the elec-
trical box and tighten the nut outside the box until the specified RPM is reached.
7. Be sure both retaining nuts are locked against the electrical box and then check the RPM again. If the
RPM needs to be adjusted, repeat step 6.
8. If more adjustment is required than the cable housing will allow, make sure the spring on the other end
of the accelerator cable is properly positioned. Excessive belt and torque converter wear can also pre-
vent proper RPM adjustment. Check them for excessive wear. See Section 17 – Torque Converter.

CHOKE AND AIR INTAKE SYSTEM

See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The choke system is a simple mechanism requiring very little or no maintenance. The system consists of a
choke assembly that is attached to the driver side of the front body, an air filter housing with a hose that is
attached to the carburetor, and an air duct that provides the engine with air from outside the engine compart-
ment. Clean, cool air is drawn through the choke assembly and into the air cleaner intake. This feature
increases engine horsepower and extends air filter life.
The choke system aids in starting the engine in cold weather. When starting a cold engine, the spring loaded
choke cover is pushed in by hand. This restricts the air flow, creating a "fuel rich" mixture in the carburetor.
The choke cover is held in until the engine starts, and then is released. The air flow to the engine is no longer
restricted, and the engine operates normally.
The choke assembly is adjusted at the factory and does not require field adjustment; however, if the choke
assembly is subjected to abuse or damaged, it may become necessary to replace the assembly.

CHOKE BUTTON REMOVAL

1. Remove the mounting screws (17) from the back side of the choke. Remove the choke assembly from
the vehicle body (Figure 14-10, Page 14-14).

CHOKE BUTTON INSTALLATION

1. Position the choke assembly (19) on the vehicle body. Install the mounting screws (12) from inside the
vehicle body and tighten to 18 in-lb (2.0 N·m) (Figure 14-10, Page 14-14).
2. Check for proper operation. If the choke button does not adequately engage the choke lever (6), loosen
the #12 screw (17) and adjust the choke lever (18) on the choke lever (6) (Figure 14-10, Page 14-14).
Move the lever toward the choke button to increase choke engagement and away from the choke button
to reduce choke engagement.
