<p>An adjustment mechanism (48) for a control cable (l6) operating a carburettor (l2) from a driver's foot pedal (l4) comprises a cable casing portion (50) on which an adjustment member (l8) is slidable. The cable is initially set in an over-tensioned position relative to the adjuster. The foot pedal is then merely pushed to its limit position defined by a stop (40). The cable casing slides through the adjustor (l8) in the tension-decreasing direction and the cable casing is then fixed in its adjusted position by frictional gripping of the adjustor on the casing assisted, if desired, by a manually inserted clip (66). The adjuster is arranged to slide on the cable casing at a load greater than the maximum load encountered during normal operation of the carburretor but less than the load which would damage the system.</p> |
