Throttle Control
Depending on your engine's model and trim, a manual
detent throttle may be equipped. For engines equipped with
a Cyclonic Air Cleaner assembly, the throttle control may
be mounted above the key switch cover at the front of the
engine. For engines equipped with a Low-Profile Air Cleaner
assembly, the throttle control may be remotely mounted. For
engine mounted throttle controls, proceed as follows. For
remote mounted throttle control, see your equipment's repair
manual for removal instructions.
1. Remove the 2 fasteners (
A , Figure 45) that secure the
throttle control to the support bracket.

fastener ( C , Figure 46) must be removed to release the
support bracket from the engine.
Cylinder Air Guides
1. On the oil filter side of the engine, remove the 3 fasteners
( A, B, C , Figure 47) that secure the cylinder air guide to
the engine.
NOTE: A wire routing clamp ( D ) is installed on the top air
guide mount. The oil pressure switch wire is secured by
the wire clamp and the clamp is secured by the air guide
mounting fastener. Take note of the clamp position and wire
routing for reassembly.
