ENGINE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
PROCEDURE
b
The carburetor mixture adjustments are preset at
the factory for maximum efficiency.
No mixture ad-
justments are required. The engine speed specified
by your equipment manufacturer
is preset and
should only be adjusted by a competent mechanic.
The service manual outlines the speed and choke
adjustment procedure
for this engine.
The speed control cable must be properly installed
for proper engine performance. Poor starting,
fouled spark plugs and poor equipment perform-
ance may be symptoms of an improperly adjusted
speed control cable. Adjust the speed control cable
as follows:
1. The engine must not be running during this
speed control cable adjustment.
2. Loosen the speed control cable clamp located
on your engine’s throttle control plate. (See
Figure
5.)
3. Place the speed control lever on the equipment
to the high speed position. On equipment with-
out a separate choke control, be sure the
speed control lever is not in the start or choke
position.
4. Move the throttle control lever so a pin can be
inserted through the
3.5 mm hole in the throttle
control plate and the throttle control lever.
5. Remove the slack from the speed control cable
and tighten the speed control cable clamp. Re-
move the pin from the
3.5 mm hole.
6. Start the engine per the equipment manufac-
turers instructions and observe all safety pre-
cautions.
If the engine performance problem is
not corrected, take the equipment
to a compe-
tent mechanic for proper adjustment of the gov-
ernor, high idle speed, low idle speed, and
choke.
See your equipment manufacturer’s owners man-
ual for high idle speed and
low idle speed settings
for optimum performance from your equipment.
