Transmission Throttle Control

  2. Move lower cable bracket until distance between nipple and top cover "A" of throttle cable is adjusted to .02-.06" (.5-1.5 mm). See Fig 1. Tighten lower cable bracket mounting bolt.
  3. With throttle lever in "WIDE OPEN" position, pull cable upward to ensure freedom of cable movement.
