These engines have precision-manufactured car¬
buretors which are not adjustable.
RECONNECTING THE CHOKE CABLE
If necessary, and if this is a gasoline engine with a
manual choke, refer to Figure 5 or 6, as appropriate,
and reconnect and reclamp the choke cable as fol¬
lows:
1 . Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plugs
and, if so equipped, the battery (negative [-]
cable).
IAwarningI Accidental starting of the en¬
gine can result in severe personal injury or
death. Always disconnect the spark plug
and battery (negative [-] cable) before re¬
setting the engine control cables.
2. Push the equipment choke knob to the full-
open choke position.
3. Connect the choke cable to the choke lever.
(The cable will either hook into the choke lever
or be clamped by a screw in a swivel on the
choke lever. See Figure 6.) Pull the slack out of
the cable and clamp it.
4. Check for smooth movement and full travel of
the equipment choke knob. Remove the air
cleaner element as explained under Periodic
Maintenance to see that the choke plate opens
and closes fully.
5. Reassemble the air cleaner and reconnect the
spark plug and battery.
