Throttle Valve Cable/Linkage: Adjustments
Basic Setting
1.
Adjust cable at transaxle bracket so that distance between bracket and rear end of cable sleeve is 1.142 inches, then connect cable to transaxle
lever.
2.
Set accelerator pedal and cam to neutral position, and ensure that short cable sleeve fits correctly in firewall.
3.
Adjust short cable to obtain shortest possible distance between sleeve and firewall grommet (approximately 5/16 inch).
4.
Place cable around cam plate and secure cable sleeve on bracket with circlip.
5.
Install long cable sleeve on bracket, but do not pull cable tight.
6.
Adjust short cable sleeve until clamping nipple can be inserted in cam plate opening without tension, then tighten cable sleeve locknut.
7.
Adjust long cable on bracket until cable is without slack or tension. It is essential that control pressure cable be installed without tension, as
throttle switch idle contact will be operated by as little as 1° rotation.
Full Throttle Test
1.
Press down on accelerator pedal to first noticeable pressure point. Throttle should be fully open, but dog on cam plate should not yet have lifted
off, and transaxle lever should be .452 inch from final stop.
2.
If dog on cam has lifted off and/or distance between lever and kickdown stop is less than specified, control pressure cable adjustment is too tight.
3.
If distance between transaxle lever and kickdown stop is greater than specified. cable adjustment is too loose.
Kickdown Test
1.
Depress accelerator pedal past full throttle pressure point to kickdown point, then ensure dog on cam plate has lifted .04-.08 inch against stop.
2.
Hold accelerator pedal in position where cam dog has lifted against stop, adjust pedal stop bolt until it contacts pedal, then back stop bolt out 1/2
turn.
3.
Hold accelerator pedal against stop and inspect transaxle lever.
4.
Cable adjustment is correct when clearance between lever and kickdown stop is 0-.04 inch.
