2.With the drive control released, there must be 1/8” clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift lever.

3.With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive plate (Figure 19).

4.If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut on the drive cable and thread the cable in or out as necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached. Reassemble the frame cover.

NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be certain to remove it.
