ing the cam action latches at each side of the

for many carburetor adjustments. It will be left-
off in this manual for the sake of visibility.

off season storage as well as draining of con-
taminated or stale fuel. See Figure 14.2.

control cable so that the full range of control
actuation is available. The bracket is adjustable

cable in the clamp can be adjusted using a 6mm
driver or a screwdriver.
14.5. Set the idle throttle stop screw so that the engine
turns 1,000 to 1,100 R.P.M. when the throttle
arm on the carburetor is held against the end of
the screw with light finger pressure.
See Figure 14.5.
NOTE: It is necessary to insert phillips head
screwdriver through the label on the engine
blower shroud to reach the throttle stop screw.
