I'm doing a little work on my motor and think I have the air mixture screws on the carbs where I want them. It seems like the engine is idling a little fast, so I'm going to adjust the idle speed screw to get it in the correct RPM range (~1000 on muffs, I think). There is a notice on the engine that says the throttle rod must be adjusted when the idle speed screw is adjusted. I looked at the manual, but it doesn't do a good job of detailing this throttle rod adjustment.
My question is what is the rule of thumb for adjusting the throttle rod after adjusting the idle speed screw? I am very new to working on this motor, so I might need it spelled out for me if anyone knows the answer. Thanks in advance for your help!
