Push cable...
« on: 07 September 2017, 01:11:21 pm »
Might just be me, i cannot figure out how the decellarator cable takes up slack.

Accelerator one is obvious, 2 nuts, one to adjust, one to lock and hold the shaft of the cable into the carb bracket, but the accelrrator one does not seem to do the same...

lost...any pointers...

No idea to be honest!


Have run one of my bikes without that cable for at least 20,000 miles with no ill effect.


Just wondered if it would close the throttle butterflies if the carb return spring broke?

I am trying to adjust the slack at the throttle, and have ran out of adjustment on the barrel, by manually holding the slack on the decelerator cable i can resolve the issue, the manual say just losen the lock nut and turn the adjuster but unlike the accelerator cable there are never 2 nuts that can both meet at the bracket to hold the shaft in place....makes no sense....

but then i am probably missing something very simple  :'(

Is there an adjuster in the middle of the cable and/or at the throttle end?

If you are solely relying on the adjuster at the throttle then I think that is where you are going wrong.

thinking about what MW said, maybe im not doing this correctly, will wind the carb end back in to where it should be and do the adjustment from the throttle...

There is no adjustment on the closing cable. :) 

The two cables effectively become as one when connected to the throttle pulley at the carb end.  Set the freeplay by winding the adjuster at the throttle tube in first, then use the nuts on the carb end to take up most of the slack.  Fine tune with the adjuster at the throttle.
