11. Confirm that the cable is securely clamped in
place at the engine end. See Figure 7a.6.
• If the cable is to be replaced, match-mark the
location of the clamp using a paint marker. Mark
the new cable in the same location, and use that
mark to position the new cable.
• Confirm that the cable, as mounted, has suffi-
cient travel to achieve the full range of engine
speeds from idle to top no-load RPM.
NOTE: The adjustment points for the pedal end
of the throttle cable can be reached by opening
and removing the hood.
12. At the pedal end, the cable may be adjusted in
its bracket using a pair of 1/2” wrenches to set
proper travel. See Figure 7a.7.

Final Throttle Cable Adjustment:
13. To get full travel, adjust the pedal end of the
cable so that the eyelet on the cable core just
rests against the socket head cap screw that
passes through it. There should be 1/8” to 1/4”
travel before tension is felt on the cable.
14. After the cable is adjusted in its bracket, check
the adjustment of the travel-stop bolt beneath
the pedal. See Figure 7a.8.
• The travel stop should be set to allow full-speed
operation without over-travel: the pedal stop
should limit the travel.
15. Remove the air filter cover to reach the engine
end of the cable. Loosen the throttle cable
clamp using an 8mm driver.
Release the throttle return spring that hooks
under the cable clamp. See Figure 7a.9.
