same number of threads visible between the jam nuts as are visible from the nut inside the box to the
end of the cable housing (Figure 14-9, Page 14-11). Tighten the nuts finger tight.
3. Connect the spring (16) to the engine governor arm (Figure 14-11, Page 14-12).
4. Install cable in accelerator cable bracket (5) and secure it with E-ring (7) (Figure 14-11, Page 14-12).
5. Push the cable dust shield onto the spring end of the cable conduit (Figure 14-11, Page 14-12).
6. Before tightening the cable housing retaining nuts, make sure the engine RPM adjustment is correct.
