(c) The idle adjusting screw is held in
position by a spring clip. Turn screw in to increase or out
to decrease the speed. Use ST-984 to adjust idle speed
while engine is running. This tool seals the spring pack

correct.

(h)
This is a reference speed and is
intended as a reference point. Judicious deviation from
this speed can be made although it should be noted that
extreme care must be taken to prevent new problems by
extreme variations in idle speed.
(i)
Problems such as difficult gear
engagement can be encountered with excessively high
idle speeds. Poor load pickup can be a problem if idle
speeds are adjusted too low.
