TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE

The throttle control has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be nec- essary. Check adjustment as described below before loosening cable. If adjust- ment is necessary, proceed as follows:

in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the

carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning idle mixture valve in (clockwise) decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner fuel/air mix- ture. Turning the idle mixture valve out (counterclockwise) increases the supply

of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/air mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needle valve and the seat in carburetor may result if screw is turned in too tight.

PRELIMINARY SETTING -

1.Air cleaner assembly must be assem- bled to the carburetor when making carburetor adjustments.

2.Be sure the throttle control cable is adjusted properly (see above).

FINAL SETTING -(See "TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE" in this

section of the manual.)

1.Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make final adjustments with engine running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

2.Move throttle control lever to slow posi- tion. With finger, rotate and hold throttle lever against idle speed screw. Turn idle speed screw to attain 1750 RPM.

3.While still holding throttle lever against idle speed screw, turn idle mixture valve full travel clockwise then coun- terclockwise until engine runs rough. Turn valve to a point midway between those two positions. Release throttle lever.
