2.Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make adjustments with engine

running and shift/motion control lever in neutral (N) position.

3.Idle speed setting - With throttle control lever in slow position, engine should idle at 1750 RPM If engine idles too

slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting screw in or out until correct idle is at- tained.

4.Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle control lever in slow position, turn idle fuel adjustment needle in (clockwise) until engine begins to die and then turn out (counterclockwise) until engine runs rough. Turn needle to a point midway between those two positions.

5.Recheck idle speed. Readjust if nec- essary.

ACCELERATION TEST -

6. Move throttle control lever from slow to fast position. If engine hesitates or dies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Repeat test and continue to adjust, if neces- sary, until engine accelerates smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust - damage may result.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Overspeed-

ing the engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous. If you

think the engine-governed high speed needs adjusting, contact a Sears or other qualified service center, which has proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.
