SERVICING YOUR HONDA LAWN MOWER

Throttle Cable Inspection

Throttle cable adjustment is necessary if the throttle lever does not
operate the choke properly.

You can inspect choke operation by observing the movement of the
choke arm, which is located on top of the carburetor.

1. Move the throttle lever to the

FAST position.

2. Remove the air cleaner cover

(see page 35).

3. Use a feeler gauge and

measure the clearance between
the control choke arm and the
control lever. The clearance
should be 0 ~ 0.04 in
(0 ~ 1 mm).

4. To adjust the clearance, loosen

the lock nuts with a 10 mm
wrench. Move the adjuster up or
down as required to obtain the
proper clearance. Tighten the
lock nuts.
