ENGINE RPM ADJUSTMENT
DANGER
• Do not operate gasoline vehicle in an enclosed area without proper ventilation. The engine produces
carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison.
1.
If the governor is adjusted, proceed to step 2; otherwise, adjust the governor.
See Governor Cable Installation
2.
Connect battery and spark plug wire(s).
See Connecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles, Section 10, Page
3.
Key-Start Vehicles:
Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and chock the wheels.
4.
Pedal-Start Vehicles:
Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, chock the wheels, and the
neutral lockout switch in the MAINTENANCE position.
5.
Connect a tachometer (CCI P/N 1016112) to the spark plug lead.
6.
With the tachometer connected, and the engine at normal operating temperature, check high speed RPM. With
the accelerator pedal pressed to the floor, the tachometer should read:
– Turf 2 (with two-wheel brakes): 3170 ±30 RPM
– Turf 2 (with four-wheel brakes): 3170 ±30 RPM
– Turf 2 (with four-wheel brakes and portable refreshment center): 3050 ±30 RPM
– Turf 6: 3050 ±30 RPM
– Carryall 2: 3170 ±30 RPM
– Carryall 2 Plus: 3650 ±30 RPM
– Carryall 2 Plus (with portable refreshment center): 3050 ±30 RPM
– Carryall 6: 3050 ±30 RPM
– Villager 6 and 8: 3050 ±30 RPM
– TransPorter vehicles: 3050 ±30 RPM
7.
To
reduce
RPM, loosen the accelerator cable retaining nut on the outside of the electrical box wall and tighten
the retaining nut on the inside of the wall until the specified RPM is reached
. To
increase
RPM, loosen the cable retaining nut inside the electrical box and tighten the nut outside the box until
the specified RPM is reached.
8.
Be sure both retaining nuts are locked against the electrical box and then check the RPM again. If the RPM
needs to be adjusted, repeat step 7.
9.
If more adjustment is required than the cable housing will allow, make sure the spring on the other end of the
accelerator cable is properly positioned. Excessive belt and torque converter wear can also prevent proper RPM
adjustment. Check them for excessive wear.
See Section 19 — Torque Converter .
