•If the idle speed becomes too high.
•If the engine idle speed will not regulate (en- gine idles and speeds up again and again).

9.If the engine speed is too slow, the en- gine will want to "hunt" or speed up and slow down repeatedly. When this occurs, increase engine speed by adjust- ing throttle stop screw on carburetor (refer to Carburetor Adjustment in Honda Engine Manual).
10.Replace the engine linkage cover (Models MGH4000CI, MGH5000DI, MGH5000DIE, MGH6000DI, and MGH7000DI).

WARNING: Always set the idle speed before turning on the Auto- Idle. If idle speed is not set, the larger resistor on the control board may become hot. Heat from the resistor may damage the protec- tive coating on the control board.
