What happens when you change the throttle control cable?
Because the cruise control functionality is operated via the same throttle control cable, you may also notice intermittent delays in cruise control working or maintaining a consistent speed when engaged. Changing this cable can involve a bit of time, knowledge, and precision in terms of routing properly.
What causes the throttle response to be delayed?
Improper cable adjustment and slow acceleration response When there is excess slack or the cable is too tight, this can cause intermittent delays in throttle response relative to pressing down on the accelerator pedal. This can also result in the opposite effect as well, in that the excess slack can create a delayed throttle return response.
What are the signs of bad throttle control?
Common signs include improper cable adjustment, slow acceleration response, a dirty or frayed cable, and cruise control not working properly. 1. Improper cable adjustment and slow acceleration response 2. Dirty or frayed cable 3. Cruise control not working properly
How is the throttle cable connected to the accelerator pedal?
Connected to a spring loaded linkage on the side of your engine’s throttle body on one end and connected ultimately to your accelerator pedal on the other end, this simple component can create havoc when not functioning correctly.
Where is the throttle cable in a car?
Position the application throttle control in the fast throttle position. Then move the throttle control back 3/16″ (4.75 mm). Insert the control cable bowden wire in the proper hole of the engine control lever, which is located on the side of the carburetor air intake elbow.
How do you put throttle control on a car?
Grasp the control cable and place it under the cable clamp. Pull until the cable is taut, then tighten the clamp screw. NOTE: The engine control lever should be against the high idle RPM stop bracket. 6. Move the application throttle control to the slow position, then to fast.
When to move throttle control to slow or fast?
Move the application throttle control to the slow position, then to fast. Check the engine control to assure it stops against the high idle RPM stop bracket. NOTE: When the application throttle control lever is in the slow position the engine governor spring must be free of tension or pushing pressure. A non- free spring can affect the RPM.
Why does my ATV keep backfiring at idle?
Take note that most ATVs source fresh air at the junction of mufflers and header pipes. If there’s a leak along the system, the engine will keep backfiring. In some instances, a popping exhaust system indicates that the engine has an extremely lean idle circuit.
