  1. Remove air cleaner. Connect tachometer to engine. Cycle throttle to ensure dashpot rod comes out quickly, then release throttle. Dashpot should allow throttle lever to return slowly to idle position after coming in contact with lever.
  2. Start engine. Slowly increase engine speed and check RPM at point when throttle lever just releases from dashpot. Engine speed should be 1900-2100 RPM (2400-2600 RPM on B1800).
  3. If not, increase engine speed to 2000 RPM (2500 RPM on B1800). Loosen dashpot lock nut and turn dashpot until rod just contacts throttle lever. Tighten lock nut and repeat test procedure. Replace dashpot if it cannot be adjusted within specifications.
