Throttle Cable Adjustment
250 and 400 Engines
Vehicles with 250 and 400 engines do not utilize a cable sleeve jam nut. You will
need to bottom the cable to the carburetor slidevalve cap. Adjust at throttle cable
adjuster near the throttle block.
Engine Choke Adjustment
2-Cycle Engines
With the dash mounted choke control toggle flipped to full off position, the choke
plunger must be seated on the fuel passageway in the carburetor. If the plunger
isnot seated on the passageway,the enginewillflood or run too rich,causingspark
plug fouling and very poor engine performance.
If there is too much choke cable slack resulting in excessive toggle free play, the
enginewillbe hardstarting when cold and the half-on choke positionused forinter-
mittent applications will not function.
Choke Adjustment Procedure
1.Flip choke toggle to the full off posi-
tion.
2.Loosen adjustment locknut (A) on
carburetor.
3.Turn cable sleeve adjusting nut (B)
clockwise on carburetor until 1/8″

tor until the toggle has zero free
play. Then rotate it clockwise until
1/8″ to 1/4″ (.3to .6 cm) toggle free
play is evident.
