HOW TO ADJUST THE THROTTLE CONTROL

For the best engine performance, set the throttle control as follows.

Move the throttle control to the FAST position (Figure 28).

Loosen the clamp screw so that the throttle control cable

can move in the cable clamp (Figure 29). Do not remove the

cable clamp or disconnect the throttle control cable from the

engine control lever.

Move the engine control lever until the slot in the lever is

aligned (lines up) with the hole in the control bracket as

shown.

Tighten the clamp screw. Move the throttle control to the

SLOW position and then back to the FAST position. Check the

alignment of the throttle control lever. See step 3.

The throttle control is now set at the correct speed. When the

throttle control is at the FAST position, the engine speed is

3400 + or – 100 RPM. When the throttle control is in the

SLOW position, the engine speed is 2150 + or – 100 RPM.

IMPORTANT: Do not change the engine governor. If the engine

governor needs an adjustment, go to the nearest Authorized

Service Center. They have the equipment and experience to

make the adjustment.
