If the previous owner never bothered doing this, then this might be how his problem occurred. I still maintain that if a visual check shows no problems, & the cable is well lubricated, taking up the slack at the engine end should be the first step.

I agree with you 100%.But if cable is old and you need to keep adjusting,it's going to leave you on the road.I stated this,as some people might keep adjusting the cable,not realizing that the cable is ready to fail.
:cool:
