Throttle Cable Installation
1. With end of throttle cable connected to throttle le-
ver, hold throttle lever against idle stop. Adjust
throttle cable barrel to slip into barrel retainer on
cable anchor bracket with a very light preload of
throttle lever against idle stop. Lock barrel in
place.
IMPORTANT: Excessive preload on throttle cable
will cause difficulty when shifting from forward to
neutral. (Readjust throttle cable barrel, if neces-
sary.)
2. Check preload on throttle cable by placing a thin
piece of paper between idle stop screw and idle
stop. Preload is correct when paper can be re-
moved without tearing but has some drag on it.
(Readjust throttle cable barrel, if necessary.)
