Throttle Cable
- Push the throttle link (A) toward the throttle lever (B) until there is no clearance. See Fig 1.
- Check cable free play at the throttle linkage. See Fig 2. Cable deflection should be 3/8-1/2" (10-12 mm).
- If deflection is not within specs 3/8-1/2" (10-12 mm) loosen the locknut (B), turn the adjusting nut (C) until the deflection is as specified, then retighten the locknut.
- With the cable properly adjusted, check the throttle valve to be sure it opens fully when you push the accelerator pedal to the floor. Also check the throttle valve to be sure it returns to the idle position whenever you release the accelerator pedal.
