Pic. 5.22. Loosening the locknut securing the cable sheath to the throttle assembly
Loosen the locknut securing the cable sheath to the throttle assembly (pic. 5.22).
Turn the throttle assembly lever and use a needle or pliers to remove the accelerator cable from the groove in the lever.
Disconnect the accelerator cable from the accelerator pedal.
Remove the accelerator cable from the partition into the engine compartment.
Install the accelerator cable in the reverse order of removal. Make sure that the o-ring is installed in the bulkhead of the engine compartment before installing the accelerator cable.
To adjust the accelerator cable, do the following:
- unscrew the adjusting nut 3 mm from the cable bracket;
- eliminate any slack in the cable;
- tighten the lock nut and check the deflection of the accelerator cable between the throttle lever and the cable sheath, which should be 9–12 mm. If the deflection is outside the specified limits, loosen the lock nut and turn the adjusting nut to set the required deflection;
- after adjusting the accelerator cable, the assistant should press and release the accelerator pedal, while the throttle assembly lever should turn from lock to lock. Check that the accelerator cable moves smoothly without binding.
