AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.

Required Actions

Inspect the fuel control rigging to ensure the fuel control quadrant reads minus 2 degrees with the throttle lever against the minimum stop when the twist grip is in the 'Fuel Off' position. Adjust the minimum stop screw and set to -2 degrees or 0 degrees if linkage limitations prevent. Perform adjustments on the cut-off lever link, torque nuts, apply red Glyptol, and test for fuel leakage and rigging repeatability on engines with specified fuel control part numbers.
