w i s e .
10. Install assembled spring (6) and control plate (5)
over the end of the speed control shaft so that pin
(10) extends through enlarged hole of control
plate. Install control lever (4), engaging small

12. Make a loop in a piece of fine wire and loop
around long leg of spring (6). Torsion the spring
clockwise by pulling on, looped wire until able to
hook end of spring onto boss on the gear cover.
Remove the looped wire.
13. Using needle-nosed pliers, move the short leg of
spring (6), engaging notch noted in step 4, above
14. Adjust the control plate as described above.
