it is called a tensioner, you adjust it, as to how hard you want your throttle lever to move.

that one is labeled and sits below this one (it's actually a twist knob). this screw sits at the top of the box and is identified (on the schem) as 'set screw, warm up link'.

ok my educated guess, is that it is a stop for how much throttle the fast idle lever can give. keeps you from over revving the motor in neutral.

I believe that is the correct answer. #94 warm-up link bangs up against it when you lift the lever, right? Limits how far you can lift the lever.

Re: remote control box warm up link-set screw

Man am I glad you posted this. I'm having a problem with the fast idle
arm on my controls. When you raise it all the way up the ignition doesnt
work. I just bought this motor a few days ago and never noticed that
adjustment. I'm going to go out to the garage right not and see if I can
solve my problem. Back with you shortly.
