shaft now should turn freely without drag. If not,
adjust cable barrel away from cable end guide.
Repeat steps a and b.

shaft is rotated by hand. The prop shaft
should not be able to turn in either direction. If
it does, adjust cable barrel away from cable end
guide. Repeat steps a thru c.

3. Hold engine throttle lever against idle stop. Adjust
brass barrel so that there will be a slight preload
of throttle lever against the idle stop. Lock brass
barrels in place with barrel retainer.
4. Proper preload on throttle cable can be checked
by placing a piece of paper between idle stop
screw and idle stop. Preload is correct when the
paper can be removed without tearing but has
some drag on it. If necessary, readjust brass
barrel.
