As can be seen from the picture above, I do not have enough accelerator cable to reach the throttle linkage. The cable is a Terry cable. What am I doing wrong? The cable needs to extend about 10 inches out of its sheath, but only extends about 3.5 inches. Is this an adjustment I need to make at the pedal end? I have PLENTY of total cable left, but the pull I have is just about perfectly 90degrees to the linkage arm. Am I just going to have to re-design the cable mount to bring it closer to the linkage?

Zach Hi Zach As was previously mention, you've lost some cable some where or the cable was packaged for the wrong app ? The stock GEMO replacement cable has a plastic tube for the cable about the length of what your showing in the pic, so your short at least 5 or 6". But your cable mount to the fan shroud is too far away, you will need a bracket of some sorts to mount the cable about the distance the dist is from the lever, and the lever may have to be moved up one more section on the cross shaft ? And Red Blue & Green are good color combos. |
