8.11. THROTTLE LEVER ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
Adjust the engine idling speed before adjusting the throttle
lever free play.
To adjust throttle free play:
1. Slide the rubber sleeve (1) back to expose the throttle
cable adjuster (2).
2. Loosen the lock nut (3), and then turn the adjuster to
obtain the correct free play. (3~5 mm or 0.12~0.2 in)
3. Tighten the locknut and reinstall the sleeve.
Other checks:
Check the throttle cable for kinks and signs of wear that could
cause stretching or failure. Lubricate the throttle cable with a
commercially available lubricant to prevent premature wear and
corrosion.
