Title: Throttle cable
Post by: rustprooflandyracer on January 30, 2006, 10:22:07

It' getting beyond a joke now, The throttle cable keeps disconnecting it's self from the barrels in which it sits at seriously crutial times, like hills. It is a 2 1/4 diesel and it is the cable linking from the accelerator rail on the back of the bulk head to the injection pump. So if have to keep getting out and hooking it back up!!  It mainly does it when changing down at high speed, so does it have any thing to do with their being too much slack? Has anyone got any ideas to how I can rectify the problem :?:

Thanks Matt

is it a rod with ball joint on not a cable if it is buy a new one there cheap
or twist a piece of copper wire around the ball then around the rod not to tight thoughand check it doesnt stick before driving off
should work but is only a temp measure

This problem normally occurs if the spring from the throttle lever on the pump to the cable bracket goes weak or fails, i would check this first as this kept happening to mine and after changing the sping, no more faults.
