slow to choke position. Slowly move lever from choke to
fast position.
• Check to see if hole in throttle lever and hole in speed
control bracket are aligned.
• If holes are not aligned, loosen cable clamp screw and
align the holes by inserting a pencil or a 1/4" drill bit
through both holes.
• Pull throttle cable up to remove slack and tighten cable
clamp screw. Remove alignment pencil or drill bit.
