3. Throttle Preparation
NOTE: Throttle grip assembly must be assembled correctly and work freely to prevent possible sticking during operation. Throttle must snap closed when
released. Cable routing must be free of tight bends to minimize friction between cable and housing.
If throttle does not work freely, it may inadvertently stick open possibly causing loss of control of motorcycle and personal injury to
operator or others.
A. Prepare existing throttle assembly - 1981-1989 Harley-Davidson® Sportster® and 1981 and later big twin chassis equipped with two cable
pull open-pull closed type throttle assembly.
1. Loosen cable freeplay adjustment locknuts and thread adjusting screw so half of threads are exposed. See Picture 8.
2. Clean grease and dirt off cables, cable housings and cable fittings.
3. Apply light coat of cable lubricant to cables and fittings.
B. Replace throttle cables - all 1988 and later Sportster® models equipped with constant velocity (CV) type carburetor.
1. Carefully remove existing cables noting how they are routed.
2. Install replacement cables using same routing as stock cables.
3. Loosen cable freeplay adjustment locknuts and thread adjusting screw so half of threads are exposed. See Picture 8.
4. Apply light coat of cable lubricant to cables and fittings.
4. Install New Manifold and Mounting Hardware
NOTE: When applicable, all carburetor mounting brackets and hardware supplied in kit must be installed to secure carburetor and air cleaner backplate
assembly rigidly to engine.
Improperly mounted carburetor could loosen unexpectedly, resulting in air leak, poor performance and possible damage to engine or
•
carburetor.
Incorrect combinations of mounting hardware may cause mounting bolts to bottom out in holes or inadvertently contact other parts
•
possibly causing damage to engine or carburetor components.
Improperly mounted carburetor may break free in event of collision or other vehicle accident creating a fire hazard with potential personal
injury to operator/others.
