Throttle Cable Inspection

Throttle cable adjustment is necessary if the throttle lever does not operate the choke properly.

You can inspect choke operation by observing the movement of the choke arm, which is located on top of the carburetor.

1.Move the throttle lever to the FAST position.

2.Remove the air cleaner cover (see page 36).

3.Use a feeler gauge and measure the clearance between the control choke arm and the control lever. The clearance should be 0 ~ 0.04 in

(0 ~ 1 mm).
