cable tension as needed until lock--to--lock turning
can be accomplished with no rise in engine rpm.

damaged.

CHOKE (ENRICHER)
ADJUSTMENT
If the choke knob does not stay out when pulled, adjust
the choke tension by tightening (clockwise) the jam nut
under the rubber boot between the choke knob and nut.
Firmly grasp the rubber boot and tighten until the choke
slides freely but stays out when pulled.
Verify free play of 1/16--3/16” (1.6--4.76 mm) and
smooth operation of choke cable.
If smooth choke operation is not obtainable, inspect
choke cable for kinks or sharp bends in routing.
