4. Early Models: Early models use a single
alignment hole to set the engine RPM. Align
the hole in the throttle lever with the hole in the
speed control bracket by inserting a pencil or 6.35
mm (1/4 in.) drill bit. See Figure 5-20.
Alignment Hole
Figure 5-20. Alignment Hole in Speed Control
Bracket and Throttle Lever. (Early Models)
Later Models: Later models utilize a new design
control assembly, identified by two opposing
alignment holes (close to the throttle lever pivot),
instead of one. Based upon the intended high
speed (RPM) setting, throttle cable adjustment
must be made matching the hole in the control
lever with the appropriate alignment hole. Use
the lower (left side) hole for high-speed settings
3000 RPM and above. Use the upper (right side)
hole for high-speed settings less than 3000 RPM.
Move the throttle lever to align the hole in the
lever with the appropriate hole in the control
bracket. Insert a pencil or a 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) drill
bit to hold in position. See Figure 5-21.

5. Pull on the outer shield of the throttle control

6. Move the application throttle lever to the slow
position, then to full throttle. Check the engine
control to ensure it stops against the stop screw,
which means it is properly set.

Choke Control Installation

1. Connect the choke cable boden wire to the engine
choke control lever on the speed control bracket
assembly.
2. Position the choke cable under the cable clamp.
3. Push/move the choke control to the off position
in the application panel until it bottoms, then pull
it back approximately 1/16 in.
4. Push on the choke cable, ahead of the clamp on
the engine control plate, until the choke lever
stops. Do not force. Then tighten the cable clamp
screw.
5. Move the choke control until it stops (on
position). Check that the choke link cannot be
moved towards the carburetor by applying finger
pressure on the lower link/lever below the engine
control plate. If the choke link moves, readjust by
following steps 3 and 4.
6. Push/move the choke control in/down until it
bottoms. The choke lever and link should be to
the right at the end of its travel, with linkage free
so the engine does not run on partial choke.
