  3. Dashpot setting RPM should be 1900-2500 RPM. If dashpot setting RPM is not within specification, shut engine off. Loosen lock nut and rotate stopper bolt. See Fig 1.
  4. Repeat step 2) until proper adjustment is obtained. Tighten lock nut. To check throttle body Vacuum Transmitting Valve (VTV) operation, operate engine at 3500 RPM. Release throttle. Ensure engine returns to proper idle speed in a few seconds.
