Fixed Speed Adjusting Screw (SAS) Adjustment

NOTE:
^ The fixed SAS has been factory-adjusted. Never attempt to move it.
^ Should it be out of proper adjustment, adjust by following the procedure given below.


1. Sufficiently slacken the accelerator cable.
2. Loosen the lock nut on the fixed SAS.
3. Sufficiently loosen the fixed SAS by turning it counterclockwise to fully close the throttle valve.
4. Tighten the fixed SAS slowly to find a point at which it contacts the throttle lever (where the throttle valve starts opening). From that point, tighten the fixed SAS further 1 1/4 turns.
5. Holding the fixed SAS to prevent it from turning, tighten the lock nut securely.
6. Adjust the accelerator cable tension.
7. Adjust the basic idle speed.
8. Adjust the Closed Throttle Position Switch and Throttle Position Sensor (TPS).
