Because you take away the slack eventually won't you end up stretching the cable so much that it will snap?

raif281

yes but that'll be awhile, just look now 120K + miles an it's got slack so another 100K possible after doing that? keep in mind this is more of a temporary fix till you get a new cable after awhile, should not be used as a permanent solution.

Ya that's true

Ive done it and it made the throttle alot touchier and sensitive.

I just replaced the cable for $30

When you do this do you need to check the blade first or can you just put the zip ties on with looking?

raif281

yeah like I said, it's cheap to replace. but for those who don't feel like replacing it an just want a temp fix it's perfect

A wise ol' man once told me if your not gonna do it right, then why do it at all. That came from a Factory Master Technician, who was certified by 8 different manufacturer's. Now I am Certfied Diesel Technician along with a Mold maker.. So the word "cheap" does not fit into my vocabulary.

Yep. The zip ties are just spacer to compensate for a stretched cable. But I took a plastic tube like piece An cut a slit for the cable to slip in then zip tied it.
