IN-LINE FUEL INJECTION PUMP
CAUTION: ALWAYS STOP ENGINE before
making adjustments.
IMPORTANT: Minor adjustment of the slow idle speed
may be made with the (bumper) spring
screw. However, it should not be used
by itself to change engine speed more
than 50 rpm, as overspeeding of the
engine may result.

the slow idle speed.
1. With the engine running, pull the governor control lever
rearward to the slow idle speed position. Check and
adjust slow idle speed to specification.
NOTE: For each application, refer to the appropriate
machine technical manual for slow idle speed
specifications.

3. Loosen lock nut (C) and back out the (bumper) spring
adjusting screw (B) three turns.
4. Loosen lock nut (D) and adjust slow idle stop screw (A)
to obtain an idle speed 30--50 rpm less than the
desired slow idle speed setting.
5. Turn the (bumper) spring adjusting screw in to increase
engine speed a maximum of 30--50 rpm to desired
slow idle speed.
