10. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Using vice grip type pliers, remove any
excess inner wire slack from throttle control system and tighten swivel
assembly screw using Phillips screwdriver and 3/8 inch (10 mm) wrench.
Wire pulling movement must not rotate throttle control grip. When throttle
control grip is released, throttle arm return spring must immediately cut
engine power off. If not occurring, check throttle control grip assembly for
binding/movement restrictions. Adjust swivel assembly as necessary for
complete freedom of movement. FIGURE 7

11. Rotate throttle control counterclockwise (maximum speed position).
Check inner wire pulls throttle lever arm of carburetor forward against
stop. Improper adjustment prevents engine to operate at maximum, no
load, governed speed and affects overall digging performance of Auger.
Adjust swivel assembly and throttle cable attach bracket as necessary for
complete freedom of movement.
12. Check throttle cable inner wire for binding/movement restrictions caused
by attach bracket. Adjust bracket as necessary for complete freedom of
movement.
13. Using cut off pliers, cut remaining inner wire behind swivel arm assembly,
leaving approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) of excess wire. Re-install air
intake cover.
14. Check all fasteners for security, tighten as required.
NOTES TO THROTTLE CABLE INSTALLATION
1. The Honda GXV160 engine incorporates a multi-purposed
carburetor/throttle arm design allowing use with Bowden (push) and
braided wire (pull) type configurations. For simplicity, the Auger
incorporates a braided wire (pull) type configuration.
2. The GXV160 engine utilizes a one or two spring loaded screws as stops
for the carburetor throttle arm.
WARNING
• For operational safety and productivity considerations, it
is extremely important that inner wire slack be completely
removed from throttle control system.
• Inner wire slack can reduce overall operator control,
resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.
