High Idle Speed Adjustment

The recommended maximum no-load high idle speed
for most of these engines is 3750 RPM. The actual
high idle speed depends on the application. Refer to
the equipment manufacturer's instructions for specific
information.
WARNING: Overspeed is Hazardous!
Do not tamper with the governor setting. Overspeed is
hazardous and could cause personal injury.

To increase the high idle speed - move the
bracket up (towards flywheel).
To decrease the high idle speed - move the
bracket down (towards PTO).
5. Tighten the speed control bracket mounting
screws. Recheck the speed with a tachometer
and readjust if necessary.
Torque the mounting screws as follows:
Into new as-cast hole–10.7 N·m (95 in. lb.).
Into used hole–7.3 N·m (65 in. lb.).
6. Adjust the choke (see ''Choke Adjustment'' which
