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. Set Throttle Control (Fig. 17) at "START" and keep it in
this position.
With Control in this position, Control Lever (Fig. 26}
should touch High Speed Stop. If it does, the controls are
adjusted correctly and no further adjustment should be
necessary..
If Control Lever does not touch High Speed Stop, proceed
to Step 2.
2. Loosen Clamp Screw just enough so the Throttle Control
Cable can be moved in Cable Clamp (do not remove Cable
Clamp from Control Bracket or disconnect Throttle Con-
trol Cable from Control Lever).
3.. Move Control Lever so it is touching High Speed Stop and
hold it in this position. With Control Lever in this position,
tighten Clamp Screw so that Cable Clamp will hold Throttle
Control Cable in place.,
4. Check that Engine stops when Throttle Control is moved
to "STOP _. If engine does not stop, loosen Clamp Screw
and readjust until engine stops_ Retighten Clamp Screw.
