As the title says, my accelerator cable needs tightening. I have had 2 different people telling me how to do it Both different methods

Please can somebody tell me how to do it. I have been told it is an easy job to do

 

Lefty losy - righty tighty

IIRC undo the lock nut, wind the threaded body out to take up slack (not too tight) tighten lock nut

Can you post up a pic or 2?

From having a quick look at Pip's car on the Ricky run.

The outer body of the throttle cable is attached to engine using 2 nuts.
The inner cable connects to the throttle... but doesn't seem easily removable.

Any hints?

 

There should be two nuts, with the mount inbetween.

Undo both nuts, move, re-do them up.

 

As easy as that.

 

Undo the front one
Tighten the back one with out rotating the collar to move the threaded collar back and tighten the cable
Tighten the front one to lock it back up!
Let me see if I can find a pic!

 

 

All done

I could say I did it myself I did in a way

I went and fluttered my eyelashes at the chap up the road

Ask him what it takes, for a service on the car?

He might exchange a service for a service
