RV CE AND ADJUSTMENTS
ENGINE
TO ADJUST THROTTLE CONTROL CABLE
(See Fig. 31)
The throttle control has been preset at the factory and
adjustrnent should not be necessary. Check adjustment as
described below before loosening cable. If adjustment is
necessary, proceed as follows:
• With engine not running, move throttle control lever
from slow (_) to cheke (N) position. Slowly move
lever from choke (N) to fast (-_) position_
. Check to see if hole in throttle lever and hole inspeed
control bracket are aligned.
. Ifholes are not aligned, loosen cable clamp screw and
align the holes by inserting a pencil or a 1/4" drill bit
through both holes_
° Pull throttle cable up to remove slack and tighten cable
clamp screw. Remove alignment pencil or drift bit.
TO ADJUST CARBURETOR (See Fig. 32)
The carburetor has been preset at the factory and adjust-
ment should not be necessary. However, minor adjust-
ment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel,
temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need
adjustment, proceed as foflows:
In general, turning the adjusting needles in (clockwise)
decreases the supply of fuel to the engine giving a leaner
fuel/air mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out (counter-
clockwise) increases the supply of fuel to the engine giving
a richer fue!/air mixture.
IMPORTANT: DAMAGE TO THE NEEDLES AND THE
SEATS IN CARBURETOR MAY RESULT IF NEEDLE IS
TURNED IN TOO TIGHT
NOTE: The carburetor on this engine islow emission_ It is
equipped with an idle fuel adjusting needle with a iimiter
cap, which allows some adjustment within the limits allowed
by the cap, Do not attempt to remove the limiter cap. The
limiter cap cannot be removedwithout breaking the adjusting
needle,
• Be sure you have a clean air filter and the throttle
control cable is adjusted properly (see above).
= Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. Make
adjustments with engine running and shift/motion control
lever in neutral (N) position.
o Idle speed settinq - With throttle control lever in slow
(_) position, engine should idle at 1750 RPM. If
engine idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed adjusting
screw in or out until correct idle is attained.
, Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle control lever in
slow (,_) position, turn idle fuel adjustment needle in
clockwise) until engine begins to die and then turn out
counterclockwise) until engine runsrough. Turn needle
to a point midway between those two positions.
= Recheck idle speed_ Readjust if necessary.
ACCELERATION TEST -
• Move throttle control lever from slow (,_) to fast (,=_)
position_ If engine hesitates or dies, turn idle fuel
adjusting needle out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn. Re-
peat test and continue to adjust, if necessary, until
engine accelerates smoothly.
High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust -
damage may result.
