For vacuum balancer gauge (09913-13121)

The vacuum gauge is positioned approx. 30° from the horizontal

level, and in this position the two balls should be within one ball

dia. If the difference is larger than one ball, turn the synchroniz-

ing screw on the throttle body and bring the ball to the same

level.

A correctly adjusted throttle valve synchronization has the balls

in the No.1 and No.2 at the same level.

NOTE:

Make sure that the throttle lever should have a gap

" (between

the throttle lever and throttle lever stopper screw) during syn-

chronization.

Avoid drawing dirt into the throttle body while running

the engine without air cleaner box. Dirt drawn into the

engine will damage the internal engine parts.
