Install the new throttle control “o”-ring by seating it in the groove in the base.
13
Replace the throttle body on the carburetor and rethread the screws to secure.
14
Before you reinstall the carburetor make sure the retaining spring is still on the throttle cable.
15
Now align the end of the cable in the swivel on the carburetor.
16
Position the retaining spring on the swivel to secure the cable.
17
Realign the cable on the bracket and tighten the locking nut.

Reposition the air filter housing and thread the knob to secure.
