Hi all, my throttle cable has about 1.5 to 2 inches of play.
i e in the engine bay I can push down, or tug the cable almost two inches before it pulls the linkage on the carb to make the engine rev.
It also means the gas pedal is floppy.
Its always been that way but now I have a carb installed I just wanted to be sure I was getting the most out of it and could actually truly fully open the throttle.
Should it be this loose or should it have a bit more tension?
Thanks folks. (YJ 2.5 with the EFI removed and a weber carb clone installed.)
