ADJUSTING THE ACCELERATOR
CONTROL (Fig. 44)
The accelerator control must have a slack
to ensure the closing of the throttle valve
and of the lubrication pump.
To get this slack, act on the apposite ad-
juster (1) positioned at the beginning of the
accelerator control cable, after withdrawing
the protection element (2).

Carry out these operations only
after making sure that the cables
of the carburettors and of the lu-
brication pump are correctly adjusted.
