FEATURES AND OPERATION (cont.)
16. ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE CABLE

Check to be sure the throttle lever moves smoothly and returns on its
own; if it does not, then adjust the free play of throttle. To adjust free
play, loosen the nut and adjust to the proper position.
The normal free play of throttle is
1

~
3
/
8
inch (5 mm ~ 10 mm).To
measure free play, measure the rotation of the throttle lever from rest
position to the position the throttle is affected.
•
Make sure the throttle doesn’t stick.
•
The lever should come right back to where it was before you pushed
it. If it comes back slowly or stays open, you have a sticky throttle.
•
If you have a sticky throttle, do NOT start the engine. You could get
hurt. Have an overland
dealer fix the throttle.
17. SPARK PLUG

Foul, black deposit on the spark plug electrodes and/or improper gap
size may result in spark plug misfire. The proper gap for the
electrode is .024 – .028 inch (0.6 – 0.7 mm). The standard type of
spark plug is NGK C7HSA or NGK CR7HSA.
