Anti-Stall Dashpot Adjustment

  1. With engine at normal operating temperature, remove air cleaner and attach a tachometer to engine. 
    NOTE: Engine idle speed and carburetor air/fuel mixture must be properly set before dashpot is checked.
  2. Move throttle lever until it contacts dashpot rod. Engine speed should read 2100-2300 RPM. If speed is not within specifications, loosen dashpot lock nut. 
  3. Hold throttle lever to maintain the correct engine speed, then turn dashpot until dashpot rod contacts throttle lever. Tighten lock nut and recheck dashpot adjustment. Repeat adjustment as necessary.
