TO ADJUST
THROTTLE
CONTROL
CABLE
(See Fig. 31)
The throttle control has been preset at the factory and
adjustrnent should not be necessary. Check adjustment as
described below before loosening cable. If adjustment is
necessary, proceed as follows:
•
With engine not running, move throttle control lever
from slow (_)
to cheke (N) position.
Slowly move
lever from choke (N) to fast (-_) position_
.
Check to see if hole in throttle lever and hole in speed
control bracket are aligned.
.
If holes are not aligned, loosen cable clamp screw and
align the holes by inserting a pencil or a 1/4" drill bit
through both holes_
°
Pull throttle cable up to remove slack and tighten cable
clamp screw. Remove alignment pencil or drift bit.
TO ADJUST
CARBURETOR
(See
Fig. 32)
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust-
ment should not be necessary.
However, minor adjust-
ment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel,
temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need
adjustment, proceed as foflows:
In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise)
decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner
fuel/air mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (counter-
clockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving
a richer fue!/air mixture.
IMPORTANT:
DAMAGE

AND THE
SEATS
IN CARBURETOR
MAY RESULT
IF NEEDLE
IS
TURNED
IN TOO TIGHT
NOTE: The carburetor on this engine is low emission_ It is
equipped with an idle fuel adjusting needle with a iimiter
cap, which allows some adjustment within the limits allowed
by the cap, Do not attempt to remove the limiter cap. The
limiter cap cannot be removed without breaking the adjusting
needle,
•
