Specifications

6. Connect both carburetors by attaching the link and

link connector bushing clip to the # 1 carburetor.

7. Hold the throttle plate on the #2 carburetor in the

true idle position. (Screw against the tang).

NOTE

Do not set the gap using the idle R.P.M. adjustment

screw. Use a .010” (.254 mm) feeler gauge to set the

air gap between the idle R.P.M. adjustment screw and

the throttle plate tang on the #1 carburetor (diag. 77).

The throttle cross link will need to be bent inward (toward

the engine) to increase the air gap or pulled outward to

decrease (diag. 78).

Choke Synchronization

1. Engage the choke control cable of the equipment to

the full choke position.

2. Remove the control assembly cover, air cleaner

cover, air cleaner and air cleaner bafﬂe (diag. 79).

3. Visually inspect that the choke shutter plate on the

# 2 carburetor is completely closed. If the plate is

not completely closing, choke cable adjustment is

necessary.

4. Apply and hold light pressure closing the choke

lever on the #2 carburetor. Attempt to rotate or

move the choke plate on the #1 carburetor (diag.

80). If movement can be found or the choke shutter

is not completely closing, the choke cross-link will

need to be adjusted. To adjust, bend the cross-link

inward towards the cylinder block until both choke

shutters completely close at the same time.

Re-assemble the components, ensure the cable clamps

are tight. Start the engine and allow it to warm up (3-5

minutes). Set the governed idle and top no-load R.P.M.

The correct R.P.M. settings can be located on microﬁche

card #30 or the computer parts look-up system. The

use of a vibra-tach Tecumseh part #670156 or a

digital engine tachometer part #670341 will aid in this

procedure.
