PROCEDURE

2. Check that the accelerator cable has no free play.

3. If the accelerator cable has free play, adjust it as follows:
– loosen the adjusting nut so that the throttle lever is free;
– eliminate any sharp bends in the accelerator cable;
– to move the cable housing toward the throttle lever, turn the adjusting nut until the throttle lever begins to move, then back it off one turn and tighten the adjusting nut.
