2Idle Speed Jam Nut

3Plunger

4Throttle Link

5Throttle Lever

Loosen jam nut. While holding throttle link with a 3/8 in wrench, turn plunger clock- wise to increase idle speed or counter- clockwise to decrease idle speed.

.After adjusting idle speed, verify the

throttle link is parallel with the throttle lever. If necessary, loosen the idle speed jam nut and reposition the throttle link.

.Do not twist solenoid boot while ad- justing engine speed.

Tighten jam nut.

Adjusting Weld/Power Speed

Start engine and run until warm. Turn V/A control to max.
