Thottle cable

[butta]

my k11 was gettig jerky and slugish so i thought time for a service i did all the usual stuff and it made a little difference but not much next job i had was to raise the idle speed slightly cuz it was a bit low when i took off the air box i notced that the throttle cable had a fair bit of slack so i adjusted it and all i can say is wow it drives like a new car more power no more hesitation and it cost nothing i recomend you all check yours today im happy as a pig in poo!:grinning:

there should a be a little slack in the throttle cable. Adjusting idle RPM by the throttle cable is a bad idea. You have Idle adjustment screw for that

i adjusted the idle with the idle screw but the throttle cable was so slack i wasnt seeing full throttle at the throttle body hence a loss of preformance

what method did you use to prove you wasn't getting full throttle?

 

[butta]

a mate put his foot to the floor and i looked to see if the buterfly in the throttle body could move more. which it would so with the pedal still to the floor i adjusted it so when the pedal was on the stop so was the butterfly in the throttle body job done full pedal travel = full throttle at the throttle body and i only checked cuz when the pedel was up there was a lot of slack

there is meant to be slack in the cable though. And even at full throttle the butterfly doesn't fully open

 

[butta]

if the butterfly doesnt open fully your not seeing full throttle! or more acuratly if the butterfly doesnt open to the stop

 

[Alienfish360]

it hits the stop about 3 degrees from fully open

I'd recommend using Nissan Datscan to measure the throttle pot and see if you are getting 100% or not

you beat me to saying that just edited post

easier to get someone to press the throttle pedal fully down and check if it his the stop by trying to move it by hand.
