Idling, adjustment
For engine idle revolutions, refer to the Engines sec-
tion. Low idle revolutions may cause the engine to stall,
while higher idle revolutions cause extra stress on the
drive/reverse gear during shifting maneuvers.
Adjustment must be made while the engine is warm.
1 Put the control lever in neutral.
Check that the gap (A) is around 3 mm.
Undo locknut (B) and adjust screw (C) to give the
correct gap. Tighten the locknut.

surfaces.

tions using the adjuster screw (E). Tighten the lock
nut.
