CLOSED THROTTLE OR IDLE ADJUSTMENT

Pedal-Start vehicles:
When the accelerator pedal is released, the engine will stop. Therefore, it is not possible to measure or set
idling speed under normal vehicle operating conditions. Set throttle valve as follows:
1. Loosen the carburetor idle screw so that it is not touching the throttle lever (Figure 14-7, Page 14-10).
2. Slowly tighten the idle screw until it lightly touches the throttle lever, then tighten it an additional 3/4 turn.

1200 to 1250 RPM (Figure 14-7, Page 14-10).
