You might have to grind some of teh lever away.

Read through here to see how I adjusted my idle.

My lever on my 4bt has a trun down that cant be ground down.the only other possibility is readjusting the throttle shaft on the splines.Rotate the lever counter clockwise 1 spline.youll probably have to turn thef uel up some more though.
