The throttle control has been preset at
the factory and adjustment should not
be necessary. If adjustment is nec­
essary, proceed as follows:
With engine not running, move remote
throttle control lever to “FAST” position.
If throttle lever on engine touches high
speed stop, no further adjustment is
necessary. If throttle lever does not
touch high speed stop, continue with
adjustment procedure.
Loosen cable clamp screw.
Move throttle lever up until it touches
high speed stop, and hold in this po­
sition.
Tighten cable clamp screw securely.
TO ADJUST CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been preset at the
factory and adjustment should not be
necessary. However, engine performance
can be affected by differences in fuel, tem­
perature, altitude or load. If the carburetor
does need adjustment, contact your near­
est authorized service center/department
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding
the engine above the factory high speed
setting can be dangerous. If you think
the engine-governed high speed needs
adjusting, contact your nearest sears or
other qualified service center which has
the proper equipment and experience to
make any necessary adjustments.
