16. Have an assistant hold the throttle pedal all the
way down or block the pedal down with a weight.
The throttle pedal arm should be against the
head of the travel-stop bolt. See Figure 7a.10.
17. Pull the throttle cable housing to apply tension to
the governor linkage. Tighten the cable clamp
with the governor input arm in contact with the
stop screw. See Figure 7a.11.
18. Tighten the screw. Start the engine and confirm
that the engine idles at 1,200 RPM and reaches
3,850 RPM at wide-open throttle.
19. Test the operation of the vehicle in a safe area
that is free of obstacles, hazards, or by-standers
before returning it to service. If the cable and
governor adjustment methods are unsuccessful,
engine performance issues or parasitic loads
must be fixed before adjustment will be effective.
