throttle linkage connected, toward the carburetor as
far as it will go. Hold it in this position.
3. Looking down the throat of the carburetor, check
that the throttle plate is in the full throttle position
and that the head of the high speed collar stop

loosen the throttle linkage clamp bracket
mounting screw, set the throttle shaft to
the full throttle position against the head
of the stop screw, and retighten the clamp
mounting screw securely. See Figure

Electric Lock-Off/Filter Assembly - Functional Test
The electric lock-off can be easily tested to verify that
it is functional. Remove it from the system for testing.
Using a 12 volt power supply or battery, connect one
wire lead to the positive (+) lead of power supply, and
touch remaining wire lead to negative (-) lead of
power supply. When connection is made, an audible
"click" should be heard indicating the opening of the
lock-off. While energized, blow compressed air
through it to determine if it is blocked or restricted.

Electric Lock-Off/Filter Assembly - Filter Service
The filter inside the lock-off assembly should be
replaced every 500 hours of operation, or if it becomes
blocked or restricted. Cleaning of the filter element is
not recommended. Order a replacement filter element
by the appropriate Kohler part number.
