Adjustment of Throttle Cable
When setting the engine to equipments, adjust the throttle cable
in the following procedures:
1. Remove the air cleaner cap.
Loose the lock nut.
2. Turn the adjusting screw. Be
sure that the idle screw
touches throttle plate at the
swivel and the play of the
throttle cable is around 2 mm.
3. Squeeze the throttle lever. Be
sure that throttle plate touches
the stopper.
4. Tighten the lock nut.
Fuel Tank Cap Service
A breather passage is
incorporated in the tank cap. If
the breather passage is clogged,
the fuel will not flow into the
carburetor, causing problems
with starting or running the
engine. At the same time, make
sure that the base of the breather
assembly is fitted firmly into the
groove inside the tank cap as
shown.
