Throttle Linkage Adjustment

1. Loosen the capscrew and nut securing the throttle
cable to the governor lever (Fig. 14)
2. Push the governor lever all the way back so it is
contacting the high speed set screw.
3. Move the throttle lever (Fig. 13) to the maximum
speed position (all the way forward).
4. Tighten the cap screw and nut securing the throttle
cable to the governor lever.
5. Make sure the throttle cable conduit does not interfere
with the full range of motion of the throttle lever or
governor lever.
6. Tighten locknut on throttle lever pivot so 10 - 15 lb. of
force is required to move the throttle lever.

Troubleshooting

Giving Immediate attention to any indication of a prob-
lem can prevent major failures, and increase the life of
the engine.
