Remove the panduit straps retaining the throttle cable
to the frame and brake line.
7.
Pull the throttle cable out through the back of the
vehicle and discard the cable.

Route the new cable from back-to-front, through the
retainers at the bottom of the frame, following the
routing noted during disassembly.

Fasten the cable with cable ties at the same locations
they were previously removed.
10. Continue to route the cable towards the front of the
vehicle using the brake line routing as a general
guide.
11. Use cable ties to retain the throttle cable, using the
same locations they were previously removed.
NOTE: Be sure to route the throttle cable inside the
retainers.
12. Install the new cable onto the carburetor slide
assembly and install the slide into the carburetor.
Hand-tighten the slide cap sufficiently.

housing.
14. Place a new gasket on the housing and install the
cover. Torque the retaining screws to specification.
15. Start the engine and allow it to warm up.
16. Measure the distance the throttle pedal moves before
the engine begins to pick up speed. Freeplay should
