Throttle Wire Adjustment

- RL4F03A only -




1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2. While pressing lock plate, move adjusting tube in direction "T" (Transaxle side).
3. Return lock plate.
(Adjusting tube is locked at this time.)
4. Move throttle drum from "P2" to "P1" quickly [Adjusting tube moves in direction "U" (Engine side) while depressing the lock plate.] Ensure that throttle wire stroke "L" is within the specified range, between full throttle and idle.

Throttle wire stroke "1": 40 - 42 mm (1.57 - 1.65 in)

- Adjust throttle wire stroke when throttle wire/accelerator wire is installed and adjusted.
- When connecting throttle wire to throttle drum, do not use tools. Manually hook wire.
- Put mark on throttle wire to facilitate measuring wire stroke.




If throttle wire stroke is improperly adjusted the following problems may arise.
- When the throttle drum fully-open position "P1" is too far in direction "T", the shift schedule will be as shown by (2) in the figure, and the kickdown range will greatly increase.
- When the throttle drum fully-open position "P1" is too far in direction "U", the shift schedule will be as shown by (1) in the figure, and kickdown will not occur.

5. After properly adjusting throttle wire, ensure the parting line is as straight as possible.
