The thumb wheel at the end of the tiller apparently is supposed to have some effect on the idle speed, I have a copy of the SELOC manual as well as the CLYMER; they mention it but don't tell one how to fix one that just spins endlessly counterclockwise or clockwise....has anyone ever had one apart? or know how to repair it?..thanks

I rarely see a idle screw that is'nt stripped, or broken, I will check the service manual, and get back.

To repair the idle knob, you have to disassemble the tiller handle. You will need a OEM manual for this, as I doubt if the other's would go into enough detail. This is a step, by step procedure, and that handle can be somewhat of a puzzle if you have never done one.

Can't find an OEM manual...is is possible or legal to copy the page and e-mail it...or will I go to copyright hell?

I could send it, but my E-mail is acting up sending copies.

Oh yeah...I do have the Factory OEM manual, so it might be worth the wait.

I'm not sure 5 did that right. I cannot seem to open the files after they're posted. I'll keep trying, but I may have to send them to you via email.

My most sincere thanks to MAS...I'm gonna have to get up some nerve to tackle that as it seems pretty complicated :% ... I'll report back on progress...methinks I'll drag the motor into the basement this winter and make it a project to get this task done....thanks again
