Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude or load. If adjustments are needed, refer to
the engine section of this manual.
NOTE
A dirty air cleaner will cause engine to
run rough. Be certain air cleaner is
clean and attached to the carburetor
before adjusting carburetor. Do not make
unnecessary
adjustments. Factory
settings are satisfactory for most appli­
cations and conditions.
THROTTLE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
To obtain satisfactory engine performance, the engine
throttle control must be adjusted properly. If it is
necessary to check the engine control adjustments,
proceed as follows.
1. Loosen the cable clamp screw. See figure 28.
2. With the throttle control in FAST position and the
cable connected to the adapter lever, push the
cable through the cable clamp in the direction
shown in figure 28 until the adapter lever is as far
up as it will go.
3. Tighten the cable clamp screw.
4. Check that the engine stops when throttle control
is moved to STOP position. If engine does not stop,
loosen cable clamp screw and readjust by pulling
cable backward slightly until engine stops.
