Cruise Control Cable

NOTE: If cruise control cable is adjusted too tight, throttle will not be able to close solidly, causing an unstable idle quality.

Hold throttle lever in idle/stop position while pulling cruise control cable adjustment slider until slack is removed. See Fig 1 . Cable slack should be no more than 0-.08" (.0-2 mm). Push down on adjustment lock tab on cable conduit until a snap is heard. DO NOT allow throttle lever to move from idle/stop position. Pull on terminal end to ensure connector to throttle body is hard against fitting. Check cable slack between terminal end of cable to throttle body plastic connector.
