Engine Controls - Adjustments: Dashpot

  1. Warm engine. Ensure idle speed is 650-750 RPM. Remove cap, filter and separator from end of dashpot. Start engine. Use finger to cover hole inside area where separator is normally installed in dashpot. This will fully extend dashpot rod. Check engine speed (ensure cooling fan is not running).
  2. If engine speed (dashpot set speed) is not 1500 RPM, rotate screw on dashpot as necessary. When installing separator, filter and cap, install filter with coarse side facing away from dashpot.
