MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS

FG100 TILLER

Cooling Fin Inspection

Inspect the engine cooling fins. Clean out any dirt and
debris if the air flow is obstructed from flowing across
the cooling fins.

If it is necessary to remove the top cover for better
access to the cooling fins, follow the disassembly
steps 1 through 3 on page 23.

Throttle Cable Inspection

Verify that the throttle trigger operates smoothly,
releases properly and the throttle cable is
undamaged. If there is visible damage, or if the
throttle lever does not operate smoothly or release
properly, take your tiller to your authorized Honda
servicing dealer.

Check the freeplay at the end of the throttle lever.
Throttle Lever Freeplay:
7/8 - 1 inch (22 - 25 mm)

If adjustment is needed, use the following Throttle
Cable Adjustment
procedure below.

Throttle Cable Adjustment

1. Loosen the lock nuts with a 10 mm wrench, and

move the adjuster in or out as required.
Throttle Lever Freeplay:
7/8 - 1 inch (22 - 25 mm)

2. Tighten the lock nuts and recheck throttle lever

freeplay.

Carburetor Adjustment

A tachometer is required to adjust the idle speed. If
you do not have one, take your tiller to an authorized
Honda servicing dealer to perform idle speed
adjustment.

7/8 - 1 inch (22 - 25 mm).

2. Start the engine outdoors, and allow it to warm up

to normal operating temperature.

3. Turn the throttle stop screw to obtain a stable idle,

below the speed at which the tiller tines begin to
turn.
Standard Idle Speed: 3,100 ± 200 rpm
