Accelerator Cable: Adjusting

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

With the accelerator cable in the Wide Open throttle position, adjust cable by positioning the securing clip -arrow- in the outer cable groove, so the injection pump lever just contacts the stop and is not subjected to any stresses. See Fig 1 .
