1. Adjust engine idle speed to correct speed given on page 17.
2. Loosen the lever position adjustment bolt on the accelerator pedal shaft.
3. Weight the accelerator pedal down onto Its floor stop and pull the lever above the pedal backwards until the carburettor throttle lever comes against Its full throttle stop. Tighten the lever clamp bolt.
4. Release the accelerator pedal and check that full throttle is obtained by fully depressing the accelerator pedal. This position should be obtained without putting extra tension on the operating cable. If necessary the pedal floor stop can be repositioned.
