OVM, OVXL, OHV VERTICAL SPEED
CONTROL
This remote speed control may have governed idle, a
choke override, and the option of an ignition remote
stop terminal block.
The speed control is adjusted to the equipment throttle
control by aligning the slot in the speed control lever
with the alignment hole on the mounting bracket.
Place a pin through the two holes, place the equipment
throttle control to the wide open position, hook the
bowden cable end in the control as shown, and tighten
the cable housing clamp. In this position, the gap of
.040" - .070" (1.02 - 1.778 mm) should exist at the
gap location as illustrated. This will assure that the
carburetor will go into full choke when the control is
placed in the start position.
The idle speed is adjusted by turning the idle speed
screw clockwise to increase engine R.P.M. and
counterclockwise to decrease R.P.M. Use tool part #
670326 to adjust the high speed engine R.P.M. Place
the slotted end of the tool onto the adjustment tab
and bend the tab to the left (away from the control) to
increase engine R.P.M.
Throttle plate alignment on all models with speed
controls mounted on intake manifold. This adjusts
choke in control as well (diag. 12 on page 25).
OHV 11-17 HORIZONTAL SPEED
CONTROL
This speed control is adjusted to the equipment throttle
control by aligning the slot in the speed control lever
with the alignment hole on the mounting bracket.
Place a pin through the two holes, place the equipment
throttle control to the wide open position, hook the
bowden cable end in the control as shown, and tighten
the cable housing clamp. In this position, the gap of
.040" - .070" (1.02 - 1.778 mm) should exist at the
gap location as illustrated. This will assure that the
carburetor will go into full choke when the control is
placed in the start position.
NOTE:
Assure that the throttle cable has full travel
from wide open throttle to full choke.
Hard starting
could result if the cable is not properly adjusted to
allow for full choke.
The idle speed is adjusted by turning the idle speed
screw clockwise to increase engine R.P.M. and
counterclockwise to decrease R.P.M. Use tool part
# 670326 to adjust the high speed engine R.P.M. Place
the slotted end of the tool onto the adjustment tab
and bend the tab to the left (toward the spark plug
end) to increase engine R.P.M.
OHV 11 -17 engines use nylon bushings on the throttle
and choke linkage hook-up points to extend the life
of the linkage and to enhance the stability of the
governor system. Make sure they are in good
condition and in place (diag. 27).
