Throttle Cable (pull) Stretch?
« on: June 07, 2023, 08:19:29 AM »
The K3 developed a long “gap” over the Ganaraska 250, last weekend. Chris had to turn the throttle about 1/4 turn before it would pick up. Checked it out today and nothing to be found. Smooth operation, no broken strands. Adjusted the carb end and all seems good. Unfortunately the new ones I have are +10” so stuck with the ancient originals. Will order a new set next time. Weird.

Installed the new batt., that finally arrived. Giving it a good wash, next.

Second thought….. I wonder if something is letting go at the throttle tube end? Mmmm.

Looks good John and appropriate with the Japanese maple.
Wish I had something to say about the slack cable.

Adjusted and seems OK.
