Re: High RPM when hot

[jtrealty@xxxx]

Verify that the idle micro switch is properly adjusted and that the 
throttle cable is not binding. It sounds like the throttle is not 
returning completly to the idle position and engaging the micro 
switch. You might have to either-both lubricate the throttle cable and 
spool, and readjust the idle micro. If it starts right up cold then 
the cold start valve and system would appear functional. It does not 
control idle speed directly. Another remote possibility is that the 
air flow sensor plate is not centered and is rubbing the side of the 
venturi. This is a delicate adjustment. To inspect remove the air 
filter and look for rub marks and GENTLY move the sensor with a 
finger. It should move smoothly without rubbing the sides. Do this 
with the motor off! Verify that the 3 brass adjusting screws are 
LIGHTLY seated closed, they are not used in this application, the idle 
speed motor contols idle air flow.
