MAINTENANCE
Checking and Adjusting the
Throttle Cable and Choke Cable
Check that the engine responds to throttle
increases and that a good engine speed is
attained at full throttle.
If doubts arise, contact the service workshop.
If adjustments are necessary, they can be
made as follows:
1. Position the throttle/choke control lever
to full throttle (not the “Choke”) position.
2. Loosen cable clamp and slide cable
rearward to the internal stop on the
carburetor linkage (until strong
resistance is felt).
3. Hold cable in this position while
tightening cable clamp securely. Verify
choke operation using the throttle/choke
control lever.
4. Move throttle choke control lever to make
sure the choke is disengaged and the
engine runs at full speed when the
throttle control is moved to the “Fast”
position.
5. Verify the control slows the engine when
the throttle/choke lever is pulled
rearward and the engine stops (BBC
models only).
6. Start the engine and move the throttle
lever to the fast (or high) position. Using
a tachometer, check the engine speed.
7. The carburetor and engine rpm is not
field adjustable. If out of specification,
take it to an authorized Kawasaki engine
dealer. Do not over speed engine or
defeat the engine governor.
