"Have the throttle control lev

"Have the throttle control lever and the warm up lever in the dead ifle position.

At the engine, loosen the screw/bolt that is retaining the throttle cable adjustable trunion within the clamping area.

With the engine running, adjust that trunion until the idle is where you want it, then tighten the clamping screw. There is a idle stop screw about halfway up the vertical throttle arm at the engine. Turn that in just so it hits the powerhead or whatever stop exists so that the idle cannot drop below that rpm point.

You may need to perform the procedure of adjusting the trunion again due to slack that may exist."
