CABLE ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove cosmetic intake cover assembly and functional
air cleaner cover. See 2.38 INTAKE COVER ASSEMBLY
and 1.14 AIR CLEANER FILTER.
2. See Figure E-1. Inspect for proper retraction freeplay in
solenoid shaft:
a. Open the throttle to the WOT position, push sole-
noid shaft (1) inward to the fully retracted position.
b. While slowly rolling off the throttle you should be
able to move the solenoid shaft slightly inward until
the shaft bottoms out. This slight travel will be the
retraction freeplay.
NOTE
This freeplay is necessary for the solenoid to properly func-
tion. Freeplay should be 1/32 in. (0.79 mm) or greater.
c. If you have no travel in the shaft, adjust cable hous-
ing (4) away from the solenoid bracket (3) until free-
play is achieved.
