Throttle a bit dead?
« on: 07 June 2004, 23:04 »
Another question for the experts. I don't know if this is the norm or not but when i press the acceleration pedal the first 1" - 2" of travel don't seem to do anything, then the power comes in, can this be adjusted? if so how? also seems a bit rigid!

Thanks again

Hi all, before I attempt to change the cable, are there any guides on how to do this, any one care to run me through it?

This is what is happening - When in any gear, but especially first, Tere is no entitial bite from the accelerator, and seems to be a bit jurky, then the power comes in and all is fine? is this down to the cable? or could it be something else?

Thanks all
