•   To warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (cooling fan comes on).

2. If the throttle control lever is not synchronized with the throttle linkage, adjust the throttle control cable.

3. Check that there is play in the throttle control lever while depressing the accelerator pedal to the fullthrottle position.

4. Remove the cable end of the throttle control cable from the throttle control lever.
5. Check that the throttle control lever moves smoothly.
