Instructions:

- Locate and inspect the existing accelerator cable routing from the throttle lever on the carburetor through the firewall to the pedal assembly.
- Release the throttle return spring tension and disconnect the cable from the carburetor throttle lever (remove retaining clip or pin).
- At the firewall and pedal end, remove any retaining clips, brackets, or nuts securing the old cable and pull the cable free from its routing.
- Compare new cable length and end fittings to the old cable to ensure correct routing and orientation.
- Route the new cable through the firewall and along the original path, avoiding sharp edges, hot exhaust components, and pinch points.
- Attach the cable end to the carburetor throttle lever and secure with the provided clip or pin. Reinstall any firewall grommet or bracket.
