Engine Cooling Air Intake
Check that the engine’s cooling air intake is free from
leaves, grass, and dirt.
If the cooling air intake is clogged, engine cooling
deteriorates, which can lead to engine damage.
The cooling air intakes rotates when the engine is
running. Keep fingers away.
Throttle Cable
Check that the engine responds to throttle increases
and that a good engine speed is attained at full
throttle.
If doubts arise, contact the service workshop.
If adjustments are necessary, they can be made as
follows for the lower cable:
loosen the clamping screw for the cable’s 1.
outer casing and move the throttle to the full
throttle position.
Check that the throttle cable is mounted in the
2.
correct hole in the lower lever, see illustration.
Push the throttle cable’s outer casing as far to
3.
the right as possible and tighten the clamping
screw.
Choke Cable
If the engine produces black smoke or is difficult
to start, this can be because the choke cable is
incorrectly adjusted (upper cable).
If doubts arise, contact the service workshop.
If adjustments are necessary, they can be made as
follows:
loosen the clamping screw for the cable’s 1.
outer casing and push the choke control fully
in.
Check that the choke cable is mounted in
2.
the upper lever, see illustration. Push the
choke cable’s outer casing as far to the left as
possible and tighten the clamping screw.
