    99 problems

    ok im having so many problems with my 5, i decided to make this thread so i can keep using it lol,
    ok heres my new problem, i took the carb of fitted all new gaskets to it & gave it a good clean.
    put it back on fired her up fine, but now the exaleration pedal is all floopy and cant rev her at all, so does anyone know where the ajustments are for the throttle cable please?
    thanx

    Re: 99 problems

    Whilst the carb was off, did you check the jets to see what spec the carb is, standard etc etc ???

    , there is a little pinch clamp thing down near the back of the carb which pinches the outer part of the throttle cable, loosten the 10mm bolt, ajust the outer part of the cable to get it where you want it, then do the pinch bolt thing back up

    Also, are you sure you have the throttle return spring connected ????

    Right, look where ive circled these 2 pics, thats the bit im on about. The way your throttle cable is routed / setup may be different to that in the second pic, but there afew different ways renault / people have routed the cable
