  1. With engine at normal operating temperature, remove air cleaner and attach a tachometer to engine. Check that idle speed and carburetor adjustment are to specifications.
  2. Move throttle lever until it contacts dashpot rod. Engine speed should read 2100-2300 RPM. If not, loosen dashpot lock nut and hold throttle lever so that correct engine speed is maintained.
  3. Turn dashpot until dashpot rod contacts throttle lever. Tighten lock nut, release throttle lever and recheck engine speed. Repeat adjustment if needed.
