Throttle Cable/Linkage: Testing and Inspection

Throttle Cable

PROCEDURE

-

Have a helper slowly push the accelerator pedal down to the full-throttle position while watching throttle valve movement on the engine.

-

With the accelerator pedal fully depressed, the throttle valve should barely reach the full-throttle stop on the housing, leaving a clearence of:

0.04 in. (1 mm) 

-

If full throttle forces the throttle valve against the stop, the stress on the cable will cause it to stretch and perhaps fail.

-

If full throttle does not open the throttle valve to proper position, loss of power will result.

-

If the Throttle Cable is not within the above specifications, refer to ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES.
