SPEED CONTROL PROBLEMS
If you have problems with erratic speed control while operating the machine, the cause may be either electrical or mechanical in nature. You will have to remove the side covers to conduct most of these tests.
A.Perform a visual check of the machine. Check the following things first:
1.Inspect the Poly- V belt for proper tension and excessive wear. A loose belt will cause excessive noise and wear. The machine will run slug- gishly if the belt is too tight.
2.Replace a worn or frayed
3.Check for proper wire connections on the alternator, relay assembly circuit board, and load resistor (See Drawing Below).
