MAINTENANCE AN D SERVICING
The tensioner cable (A) should be tight when the GSL is at
the right-hand side of the N-DETENT.
The N EUTRAL START switch should also be fully
compressed. If the cable is too tight, it will prevent the
NEUTRAL START switch from fully compressing, and
prevent proper engagement of the p intle arm. Refer to
5.7.5 Neutral Start Switch, page 217.
Adjust the cable tension as follows:
1. Hold nut (B) from turning and loosen jam nut (C).
2. To increase the tension, turn the nut (B) clockwise.
3. To decrease the cable tension, turn the nut (B)
counterclockwise.
4. Hold nut (B) from turning and tighten jam nut (C).
