With engine at normal operating temperature, idling at correct normal idle speed and with transaxle in neutral, proceed as follows:

  1. Connect an electronic tachometer which is designed to read engine RPM with specified accuracy. Disconnect gray wire which feeds solenoid valve.
  2. Remove cap nut (E) and hold nut (F) while loosening lock nut (D). Use Allen wrench to turn set screw (C) and adjust to 1500 ± 50 RPM (1350 ± 50 RPM on R16). Retighten nut and replace cap screw. Reconnect solenoid wire.
