Question
Dear John,
  I need your suggestion on how to reduce the idle speed on a Honda GX120 engine mounted on an aerator so that I can walk at a comfortable pace.  I tried adjusting the idle speed screw as shown in my manual but the idle speed doesn't
decrease any further.  Thanks.

Answer
Hello Dennis:

Did you Set the Idle at the Throttle Control Bracket or the Carburetor? Usually you have to Alternate Between Both Adjustments to Achieve the Idle you Require. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower/Engine at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog American Honda. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
