Maintenance, repair, or replacement of the
emission control devices and systems,
which are being done at the customers
expense, may be performed by any non­

vidual. Warranty repairs must be per­
formed by an authorized engine manufac­
turer's senrice outlet.
TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL
CABLE
• The throttle control has been preset at
the factory and adjustment should not
be necessary. If adjustment is neces­
sary, proceed as follows;
• With engine not running, move remote
throttle control lever to “FAST position.
• If throttle lever on engine touches high
speed stop, no further adjustment is
necessary. If throttle lever does not
touch high speed stop, continue with
adjustment procedure.
• Loosen cable clamp screw.
• Move throttle lever up until it touches
high speed stop, and hold in this posi­
tion.
• Tighten cable clamp screw securely.
TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the fac­
tory and adjustment should not be neces­
sary. However, engine performance can
be affected by differences in fuel, tempera­
ture, altitude or load. If the carburetor
does need adjustment, contact your near­
est authorized sen/ice center/department
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed. Overspeeding the
engine above the factory high speed set­
ting can be dangerous. If you think the
engine-governed high speed needs adjust­
ing, contact your nearest authorized ser­
vice center/department, which has the
proper equipment and experience to make
any necessary adjustments.
