Throttle Cable/Linkage: Description and Operation
General
The accelerator outer cable is secured to the accelerator pedal bracket rather than to the toeboard. Securing the outer cable in this way has a merit of
making the ratio of throttle valve movement to cable stroke less variable. This arrangement is also effective to prevent uneven cable return movement
that may result from deformation of the toeboard or improper installation of the accelerator pedal and, therefore, to improve safety.
In addition, the floating type casing cap through which the cable is attached to the bracket reduces vibration of the pedal, thus improving quietness.
