Idle Control Adjustment:
NOTE: The automatic idle speed is set
between 2640 and 2940 RPM.
The idle speed has been pre-set at the
factory and should rarely require read-
justment.
Erratic idle operation of the engine
usually indicates a need for carburetor
adjustment to provide a smooth idle.
The idle control will not function prop-
erly when the idle speed is below the
recommended limits or the carburetor
is improperly adjusted.
