Thanks Chet .Throttle linkage issue fixed
« on: July 01, 2017, 02:45:38 PM »
 So I mentioned experiencing a throttle issue on the old Jackal . Could only turn the grip about a quarter of a turn . Cables are fine , everything looks copacetic , still having the problem . Had started the old girl sitting right next to Luap's MGX 21 with the , er , melodious mufflers , so I didn't hear it cough . The right hand throttle body had moved back just enough to cause the crossover linkage to contact the airbox . Quick call to Mr Rugg , took a couple of minutes to explain the situation , he goes over my procedure , then says , "Oh , check to see if the linkage is hitting the airbox" . Well duh , if I had simply pushed the TB back into place the problem would have been eliminated  :laugh:

Anyway , thanks Chet  :bow:

 That's why they did the dual throttle cable recall.. so you could manually close the throttle if the linkage interfered with the air box.  :rolleyes:
