1973 FJ40 with the Aisan carb. The accelerator cable housing is 25" and the cable itself measures 31". There is too much play in the pedal right now where I can't get full throttle on the carb. I feel like I'm missing something really simple ... or maybe I need a shorter cable?
What are the best options for removing slack in the pedal cable?
As you can see, I barely have the cable threaded on - if I push it more to the left it increases the slack. I can't thread it further.
At the pedal there is so much play - about 1.5" before I get any resistance. This is after I added that bolt to push it out just a bit. Should I bend the pedal closer to or more than 90*?
