[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 277638, member: 4469"] Some info from my service manual Tim 1. Remove the engine cover. 2. Connect a tachometer according to manufacturer's instructions. 3. Start the engine and warm to normal operating temperature. 4. Shift the engine into FORWARD gear and note the idle speed on the tachometer. It should be 750 rpm. 5. If idle speed requires adjustment, face the steering handle and rotate the idle speed adjustment knob clockwise (to increase) or counterclockwise (to decrease) as required to bring idle speed within specifications. 6. When idle speed adjustment is completed, shut the engine off. Remove the tachometer and install the engine cover. [/QUOTE]
