Accelerator Cable

  1. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Adjust idle speed, if necessary. Position cable stop with elongated hole in order to obtain total cable travel of 1.77-1.93" (45-49 mm) between idle set screw and maximum RPM stop.
  2. Place a 0.20" (5 mm) spacer between accelerator cable and its stop. Using a press (8.0204), depress accelerator pedal. Place throttle lever of pump in full throttle position.

  3. Install tensioner clip so that play on cable will be taken up without compressing compensator spring on firewall. Remove pedal press and spacer.
  4. Check to ensure that when at rest, throttle lever rests against idle set screw. Check that in full throttle position, compensator spring is not fully compressed.
