ADJUSTING THE iDLE SPEED
If the engine will not idle properly:
1. Start the engine. Refer to Starting and Stopping.
2. Move the cruise control to the LO (slow} position and let the
engine idle. If the engine stops, increase the idle speed. Use a
small Phillips screwdriver to turn the idle speed screw clockwise,
1/8 of a turn at a time, until the engine idles smoothly (Fig. 19).
