1st step.
The actuator spool is installed in the CIU
housing with the actuator cable. The actuator
spool is rotated to fully extend the cable.
2nd step.
The dual spool and carburettor cable are installed.
The carburettor cable is attached to the lower
groove in the dual spool. The other end of the
carburettor cable is attached to the carburettors.
Note the position of the roll pin. It is nearly
contacting the end of the groove in the actuator
spool. The free play in the carburettor cable must
be adjusted so that the cable outer can be pulled out
2 ~ 3mm before the carburettors start to open. This
ensures that the cruise control cannot prevent the
carburettors returning to idle. If more free play is
allowed the response of the cruise control is
compromised.
This adjustment of free play is usually performed
after final assembly of the CIU is completed and the CIU is in its final location. This is because flexing the
cable affects the free play. It is shown at this stage in these diagrams to improve clarity.
After this adjustment is performed, the carburettor cable adjustment MUST NOT BE MOVED. All future
adjustments of free play in the throttle must be performed on the throttle cable from the throttle grip. If
incorrect free play in the carburettor cable is suspected due to inconsistent cruise operation or because of
inconsistent idle speed, the adjusters on the throttle cable from the hand grip must be backed all the way off to
give as much free play as possible. If this does not result in AT LEAST 5mm of free play in the throttle cable,
the throttle cable must be removed from the handgrip or CIU before adjustment of the carburettor cable is
attempted. This is crucial because the amount of free play in the throttle cable also affects the apparent free
play in the carburettor cable.
