Throttle lever free play must always be at a specified
clearance (A) .010"-.030" (.25-.80 mm) between the throttle
lever (B) and the throttle block (C). This clearance is
controlled by the throttle cable (D).
If adjustment is needed follow these steps:
CAUTION
After any idle speed adjustments are made, the throttle
lever clearance and the oil pump adjustment must be
checked and adjusted.
1. Check the idle RPM and verify it is within the specified
range.
2. Shut off engine.
3. Locate the throttle cable that is attached to the carburetors
and adjust the throttle free play by adjusting the barrel nut
(E) and lock nuts (F).
4. Once you achieve the proper free play of .010"-.030" (.25-
.80mm), tighten the lock nuts.
5. Verify the oil pump index marks are with in range.
6. Check the idle RPM and verify it is within the specified
range.
NOTE: If the idle speed screw is adjusted inward
and the cable sleeve is not adjusted to take up the
throttle lever clearance, the engine may misfire or
kill upon initial throttle opening.

CLEANING

AIR FILTER
The intake foam filter (A) limits snow ingestion into the
intake system. When operating in loose powder, check the top
of the foam filter periodically to remove any accumulation of
snow.
NOTE: Do not operate a machine with the intake
filters removed. This may cause carburetor icing
resulting poor fuel economy or engine damage.
