What if your engine runs too
fast ... or if the tines turn the
instant you start the Tiller? You
may need to adjust the idle
screw (Key #25 under
Carburetor on page 28) by itself
rigbt below the H and L screws.
Gently turn it counter-
clockwise. You'll know you've
adjusted i_ correctly when Lhe
axles do no_ turn at k)w idle.
tf you con_itme to have idle
.problems, you may need ro
ldjust the throule cable.
Filst. locate the metal Lriangle
at the end of the throtde cable.
(Picture 1) The -idle screw mus_
touch this triangle. But, i[ _he
throttle cabie_ too light, you'll[
see a gap between the idle screw'
and the triangle
to fix this. loosen *he top nttt
that holds _he throvle cable in
place. (Picture 2) (Use a 10ram
(cominued)
wrench or an a_ustable
wrench.) Then, slide the cable
down until you close the gap
between the triangle and the
idle screw. (Picture 1) Now,
tighten the bottom nut that
holds the throttle cable.
Locate *:hemetal "button" on
the triangle. This is the swivel.
The large end of the throttle
cable must be inside the slot in
this swivel. (Picture 3)
