MEASURING THROTTLE CABLE TRAVEL (Continued)
F. Install the end bead of the BEAD CHAIN in each BEAD CHAIN CONNECTOR with a bead (or
beads) between them to add additional length. The beads inside the BEAD CHAIN CONNECTORS do not add length.
NOTE: Each bead of the BEAD CHAIN added between the BEAD CHAIN CONNECTORS will give you 7mm (.28") of
slack.
Example: If your throttle travels 35mm (1-3/8"), you will need to add one (1) bead between connectors.
G. After the BEAD CHAIN is installed, lightly crimp the BEAD CHAIN CONNECTORS without pinching the cables and
center the CONNECTOR COVERS over the BEAD CHAIN CONNECTORS.
NOTE: You must always use the CONNECTOR COVERS.
3) ATTACHING CRUISE CABLE TO THROTTLE
This section will cover the proper ways to use the hardware available. Each method contains sample illustrations
showing how the connector is used in an actual installation. It must be noted, however, that you should have an
understanding of how each attachment method works so that a proper
installation is achieved.
There are five (5) different types of throttle connections.
A. Pulley Assembly Using The LOOP CABLE
B. Pulley Assembly Using T-BAR ADAPTOR
C. Pedal Attachment.
D. Ford™ Throttle
E. General Motors™ and Chrysler™ Throttle Using THREE BEAD
CONNECTOR
A. Pulley Assembly Using The LOOP CABLE
1. On some vehicles it may be necessary to remove the air cleaner to access
the throttle pulley segment.
2. Set the pulley segment in an OPEN throttle position, and remove the throttle
cable from the pulley.
3. Hold the LOOP CABLE between the holes in each side of the pulley. Slide the
barrel at the end of the throttle cable through the slotted hole, then through the
LOOP CABLE and into the second hole.
4. Connect the LOOP CABLE to the CRUISE CABLE using the BEAD CHAIN
CONNECTOR as follows:
Slide a CONNECTOR COVER on the LOOP CABLE. Install a BEAD CHAIN
CONNECTOR onto the LOOP CABLE and then onto the CRUISE CABLE. BEAD
CHAIN CONNECTOR may need to be spread slightly for cables to enter. After
the BEAD CHAIN CONNECTOR is installed, lightly crimp the connector without
pinching the cables. Then slide the CONNECTOR COVER over the center of the
BEAD CHAIN CONNECTOR.
5. To secure the LOOP CABLE to the throttle cable, punch a small hole in the CONNECTOR COVER and slide the
TIE STRAP (102MM) through the hole and secure to the throttle cable.
NOTE: Firmly tighten the TIE STRAP (102MM) and remove excess to prevent
possible throttle interference.
WARNING
If the LOOP CABLE is not secured to the existing throttle cable, it could come out
of the pulley segment possibly causing the throttle to be held in a partially open
position.
