Idle speed adjusting screw

B01835-10

The idle setting of the throttle valve body has a big influence on the vehicle's starting

behavior, on stable idling, and on vehicle response when the throttle is opened. This

means that an engine with a correctly set idle speed is easier to start than if the idle is

set wrongly.
The idle speed is adjusted with the idle speed adjusting screw

Increase the idle speed by turning the idle speed adjusting screw clockwise.

Decrease the idle speed by turning the idle speed adjusting screw counterclockwise.

6.13

Shift lever

Shift lever

is mounted on the left side of the engine.

The neutral or idle position is between the first and second gears.

6.14

Foot brake lever

B01837-10
