[quote="BigAl"]ahh, ok, do you have a guide on how to check all this correctly, save flooding a carb'd engine, as the last carb'd one i had a go at, there was no slack but the throttle pedal didn't open the butterflies to WOT and then wouldn't close fully. Indicating pedal stop to high or as you say accelerator bar adjustment not set up correctly. Poor owner had to take out spark plugs and turn over engine and it took him quite a long time to get it going again, we did depress the accelerator pedal quite a few times though, not thinking it would cause such a problem. His WOT was 5 - 7mm off!![/quote]

If you didn't get WOT, it's because your initial press of the pedal is taking up slack in the cable, not moving the throttle butterflies. <br /> <br />So, the adjustment here has nothing to do with the throttle bodies or WOT actually. It just has to be taut but not moving the bar with "foot off". <br /> <br />So please, put the brick down now <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <br /> <br />Bob</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subRed/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>BigAl</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subRed/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2009 11:43 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Throttle cable adjustment period</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Hey guys <br />I just thought id let you know and ask a question at the same time. <br /> <br />Since i put my head back on about 7 months ago, i thought i would check the throttle cable. Lo and behold WOT was 2mm off, so i moved the circlip 1 ridge. <br /> <br />Here's the letting you know part <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> go and check yours <br /> <br />Here's the question, how long does this need before looking at again? <br /> <br />Please be careful when removing the circlip, i have done it a few times and still managed to drop it onto the top of the engine block, doh! <br />Had to fashion an aerial to act as a telescopic magnet. <br /> <br />Word of warning to carb owners, you will end up flooding your engine big time if you keep checking by pressing the pedal all the way down to see if the butterflies open fully. <br /> <br />Anyone got any good recommendations for this? <br /> <br />I was thinking of a brick, or something to fix the pedal to the metal, so the pedal only gets pressed once. <br />Then adjust the adjuster on the cable so its tight and then check that it closes fully on no throttle.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subRed/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
