Step 2
Loosen the lock nut on the throttle cable
using 12mm open end wrench.
Step 1
Locate the throttle cable bracket which
is connected to the carburetor which is
inboard from the air cleaner assembly.
Step 4
Remove the cable from the bracket.
Step 3
Continue loosening the lock nut until the
cable can be removed from the bracket.

Step 5
Once the cable is free from the bracket,
reach down and disconnect the cable
from the carburetor throttle linkage.
(See greater detail in the next 3 Tech
Tips)
Tech Tip 5A
Make as much slack in the cable as
possible.
Tech Tip 5B
Align the cable with the slot in the
linkage.
Tech Tip 5C
Pull the cable end out of the linkage.
Notice: The carburetor shown in Tech
Tips 5A to 5C is off the vehicle and
laying on its side. This is done to give a
clearer view of how to disconnect the
cable from the carburetor.

Step 7
Position the NEW throttle cable in the
same place that the OLD one was.
Note: Do not connect to the bracket yet.
Step 6
Pull the OLD throttle cable away from
the carburetor and lay it aside for now.
Step 9
Place the NEW throttle cable in the
bracket with the nuts left loose for now.
Step 8
Reconnect the NEW throttle cable to the
linkage by reversing the removal
procedure shown in Tech Tips 5A to 5C.

Step 11
Pull the NEW throttle cable around
behind the engine and lay it aside for
now.
Note: Be sure the NEW cable is routed
in the exact same path as the OLD
cable.
Step 10
Route the other end of the NEW throttle
cable in the same path as the old cable.
Step 13
Using a standard screwdriver, push the
cable out of the hole in the bulkhead.
Step 12
From inside the passenger compartment,
pull slack in the old cable at the point
where the cable passes through the
bulkhead (or firewall) and disconnect it
from the accelerator pedal linkage.
Note: The procedure for disconnecting
the cable from the accelerator pedal is
similar to the way you disconnected the
cable from the carburetor.

Step 15
Completely remove the OLD cable and
set it aside.
Step 14
Pull the OLD cable out of the bulkhead
into the engine compartment.
Step 16
Push the NEW cable through the
bulkhead and snap it into place.
Note: Be sure the NEW cable is routed
in the same path as the OLD cable.
Step 17
Go back to the carburetor and
disconnect the NEW throttle cable from
the bracket.
Note: This will give you enough slack to
make the connection at the accelerator
pedal.

Step 19
Reconnect the throttle linkage to the
bracket at the carburetor.
Step 18
Connect the new cable to the
accelerator linkage in reverse order of
removal.
Step 21
Tighten the lock nut using a 12mm open
end wrench.
Step 20
Tighten the lock nut as tight as you can
with your finger.

Step 22
Check the cable for proper “Cable Play”
adjustment. (See next step)
Step 23
Using the illustration shown above
check the amount of “cable play”.
Compare your findings to the chart
shown above. If the cable play is not
within specification it will need to be
adjusted. Follow the instructions listed
below:
•If the cable play is to great, loosen the
lock nut and turn the adjusting nut
clockwise. Then tighten the lock nut.
•If cable play is to small, loosen the
lock nut and turn the adjusting nut
counter clockwise. Then retighten the
lock nut.
Continue the adjustment procedure until
the correct cable play is obtained.

Step 24
Check the execrator pedal. It should
move freely through the entire pedal
travel. If there is binding or excessive
resistance, check that there are no
kinks in the cable and that it is routed
without sharp bends. Reroute or
repair as needed.
