Throttle Cable Installation and Adjustment
IMPORTANT: When installing throttle cables, be sure that cables are routed in such a way as to avoid
sharp bends and/or avoid contact with moving parts. DO NOT fasten any items to throttle cables.
1. Place remote control lever(s) in neutral/idle position.
2. Measure between the center of the Accelerator Position Sensor anchor stud to the holes
on the cable barrel end bracket.
Select the hole in the cable barrel end bracket that
is closest to the distance of 7-1/8 in. (181 mm) between studs.
