PROBLEM
|
CAUSE
|
SOLUTION
|
|
CONTROLS ARE HARD TO OPERATE
|
- Too many bends in cable
- Bent cable rod
- Brakes are too tight
- Cables are worn out
|
- Reduce the number of bends in cable. (Put in shorter cables)
- Check for damaged cable rods, replace cables if necessary
- Grease or replace control bearings
- Adjust brakes so they are not too tight
- Replace cables
|
|
THROTTLE LEVER DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE WHEN UNDERWAY
|
- Heavy return force on fuel lever at engine
- Throttle brake on control is too lose
|
- DO NOT tamper with or remove return springs on fuel levers
- Tighten throttle brakes on control
- Install cable brake (44386) on throttle cable jacket
|
|
THROTTLE IS SLOW IN RESPOND WHEN HAND LEVER IS MOVED
|
- Too many bends in cable
- Connections at control or engine are loose
- Cable is worn out
|
- Reduce number of bends in cable (put in shorter cables)
- Check all hardware and tighten if necessary
- Turn engine off, with hand levers at idle position,
disconnect cable at fuel lever and "pull" on cable rod to take out "free play." While holding this pull force, re-adjust the cable terminalto line up with the hole in the lever
- Replace cable
|
|
HAND LEVERS DO NOT LINE UP WHEN AT CRUISING SETTING
|
- Too many bends in throttle cable
- Loose connections at contorl or engine
|
- Reduce number of bends in cable (put in shorter cables)
- Make sure cables are attached in the same hole in the cable output arm
- Adjust control stop screws so hand levers are equal at the idle position
|
|
"SPONGY" FEEL AT CONTROL. HAND LEVER DOES NOT GIVE ENOUGH STROKE
|
- Stop screws not adjusted properly
|
- Adjust stop screws on control to stop lever movement at the same time fuel lever reaches full open. Stop screws prevent over travel of cable
|
|
CANNOT FEEL NEUTRAL, FORWARD or REVERSE DETENTS
|
- Control does not have shift detent kit installed
- Detents are at more than one station
- Detents are not adjusted for feel
- Detents are worn
|
- Install shift detent kit
- In dual station systems: use detent only at most used station
- Adjust (tighten) detent screw for more pressure
