THROTTLE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
If the throttle control requires adjustment or if it has
been replaced, adjust the throttle control as follows.
1.
Remove the screw shown in figure 8. Remove the
cable clamp from the cable.
NOTE:
If you have a Tecumseh engine, simply loosen
the screw shown in figure 8B so the cable will move
freely beneath the clamp. It is not necessary to
remove the screw and clamp completely.
2.
Push the throttle control lever on the handle all
the way forward as far as it will go, then back it off
one
“click”.
Make
certain
the
throttle
control
lever remains in this position.
3.
Push the control lever on the engine as far toward
the rear of the engine as it will go. Secure the
cable in this position with the cable clamp and
screw.

SIX SPEED SHIFT CABLE ADJUSTMENT
(Six Speed Models Only)
Periodic adjustment of the six speed shift cable may
be required due to normal stretch and wear on the
cable. Adjustment is needed if all six speeds cannot
be obtained.

bracket. See figure 9. Place the shift lever in the sixth
speed position. Make certain the belt is not pinched
between
the
pulley
halves.

cable
bracket
(toward
the
rear
of
the

Retighten
the
