9. MAINTENANCE
THROTTLE CABLE AND STOP SCREW ADJUSTMENT
When the throttle lever is moved to the
START (CHOKE) position, the choke
should fully close (choke arm moves
inward as far as it will go), and the
stop screw should contact the throttle
control arm.
1. Set the throttle lever in the START
(CHOKE) position.
2. Turn the stop screw counterclock-
wise, so it cannot contact the
throttle control lever.
3. Push the choke arm with your
finger to check whether it has
moved inward (to the closed
position) as far as it will go.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen
the throttle control cable lock nuts
with a 10 mm wrench, and move
the adjuster up or down as required,
so the choke just closes (choke arm
moves inward as far as it will go).
Tighten the lock nuts and recheck
the choke arm position
4. Turn the stop screw clockwise until
it contacts the throttle control arm.
If the stop screw does not contact
the control arm when the throttle
lever is moved to the START
(CHOKE) position, the throttle lever
and control arm can move too far
and may damage the choke arm. If
the stop screw contacts the control
arm too soon, the throttle lever and
control arm cannot move far
enough; the choke will not fully
close, and the engine will be hard
to start.
