CLOSED THROTTLE OR IDLE ADJUSTMENT

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 Throttle Idle Screw so that it is not touching the throttle lever (Figure 22-7, Page 22-8).
2. Slowly tighten the Throttle Idle Screw until it lightly touches the throttle lever, then tighten it an additional 3/4 turn.
