3. Tighten the locknut and slide the boots over the cable adjuster until
they touch at the midpoint of adjuster.

adjuster, adjust the cable at the carburetor using the following
procedure.

clamp screw (1) and the throttle
cable adjustment screw (2).
2. Adjust the cable as needed.
3. Tighten both screws and
reinstall the seat.
