Throttle Freeplay

If the throttle pedal has excessive play due to
cable stretch or mis-adjustment, it will cause a
delay in throttle response, especially at low
engine speed. The throttle may also not open
fully. If the throttle pedal has no freeplay, the
throttle may be hard to control, and the idle
speed may be erratic. Check the throttle pedal
freeplay. Adjust the freeplay if necessary.

Throttle Freeplay Inspection

1. Lift the parking brake to the top to park the
car.
2. Apply the brakes. Start the engine. Allow it
to warm up thoroughly.
3. Measure the distance the throttle pedal
moves before the engine begins to pick up
speed. Freeplay should 1/16 to 1/8 inches
(1.5-3mm).

Throttle Freeplay Adjustment

1. Remove both seats. Remove the middle
cover of the engine. (see PAGE 8-9 )
2. Loosen the nut of throttle cable on the
valve,
Spin the throttle cable inside/ outside to
increase the throttle pedal's moving
distance to 1.5-3 mm.
