1. Check the hand throttle handle to ensure that it rotates
smoothly and freely from fully closed to fully open and
returns freely.
2. Check the hand throttle handle free travel. The standard
free travel distance is about (3 ~ 5) mm of free rotation.
(The free stroke adjustment method is: loosen the upper
and lower lock nuts of the throttle cable, then adjust the
throttle cable adjusting nut until the free travel is correct
and then re-tighten the throttle cable lock nut).
3. Check the throttle cable for visible damage. Replace if
damaged.
4. Place one drop of oil onto the feral at the injection end of
the throttle cable
5. Note: After adjustment, please start the engine check and
rotate the handle bars fully from one side to the other.
Ensure that the cable is not pulling on the throttle
(increasing RPM) when the handle bars rotate. If rotating
the handle bars effects the RPM, re-adjust (increase) the
free travel in the cable. If after increasing the free travel,
rotating the handle bars still effects the RPM, the cable
either require re-routing or replacing.
