Adjusting The Idler Subspring (4) Idler subspring
If the engine rpm tends to fluctuate, turn idler subspring (4) clockwise. Allow the idler subspring to come into slight contact with the tension lever. The engine rpm will rise slightly and the engine rpm will stop fluctuating when the idler subspring is exerting some force upon the tension lever.Note: Tightening the idler subspring adjusting screw is likely to cause the engine to overspeed when the load is dumped during heavy-duty operation. Tighten the idler subspring slowly until the unstable condition is eliminated.
