– Check the grub screw (1) and

throttle trigger (2) and replace if
necessary

Make sure the grub screw (1) is in
place.

A new throttle trigger comes with
the grub screw fitted.

The throttle cable must be
readjusted if a new throttle trigger is
installed or the position of the grub
screw is changed,

8.6.2

Push the torsion spring (1) into
the guide (arrow) so that it is held
in position.

– Fit the lever on the same side as

the grub screw.

Push the lever (1) onto the pivot
pin so that the lug is below the
shoulder (arrow).

Push the throttle cable nipple (1)
into the lever and engage it in the
slot (arrow).

Position the throttle trigger with
lever on the mounts (arrows) so
the leg (1) locates against the
edge of the engine housing.

545RA141 TG

545RA142 TG

Press the throttle trigger (1) into
the mounts until it snaps into
place.

The leg (2) of the torsion spring
must locate against the edge
(arrow) and project slightly.

Push the throttle cable sleeve (1)
into the guide as far as stop.

The throttle cable sleeve must butt
against the stop (arrow).

– Install the support and fit the

short circuit wire in the guide.
