I'm wondering if I'm just running into things that need to be replaced at 40K miles.
Today I found there was not enough play in the throttle. I took the cable adjuster and screwed it in as far as it would go. Everything is fine. Honestly I would have expected to be screwing the adjuster out as the cable stretches, but I'm doing the exact opposite. So I'm guessing the adjuster works on the return side and not the pulling side.
I assume from the terminology I'm using it's obvious I don't have a good understanding of the 2 cable throttle setup...guilty. I'm assuming that no more adjustment means time to replace both throttle cables. Seem like a reasonable assumption?
