Actuator Cable Adiustment
'1.Check that the actuator cable operates smoothly
with no binding or sticking.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (A,/T in E or E position, M/T in neutral)
until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Measure the amount of movement of the actuator
rod until ths cable pulls on the accelerator lever
(engine speed starts to increase). Free play should
be 11 t 1.0 mm (0.43 i 0.04 in).
LOCKNUT FREE PLAY: 11 t 1.0 mm
10.43 r 0.04 in)
lf free play is not within specs, loosen the locknut,
and turn the adjusting nut as requirsd,
NOTE: lf necessary, check the throttl€ cable frso
play (s€e section 11), then recheck the actuator rod
free play.
Retighten the locknut, and recheck the free play.

Valve Clearance
Adiustment
Adjust the valves only when the cylinder head tempera-
ture is less than 100"F (38"C).
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
Remove the middle cover (see page 6-11).
Set the No. 1 piston at TDC. The "UP" mark on the
pulleys should be at the top, and the TDC marks on
the pulleys should align with the pointers on the back
