Hi All


1999 Morgan 4/4 with ford Zetec 1.8 petrol engine. During an annual service I was oiling the throttle cable. There is a plastic cylindrical chamber incorporated in the throttle cable that I have always assumed contains a quick release mechanism or some sort of adjustment. The cable from the throttle body enters the top and the cable from the bottom carries on to the pedal. See photo 1

This year I decided to open the chamber and take look inside. There is a u shaped metal removable clip that retains the top cap. You can see what it looks like after the top cap is removed in picture 2. To my amazement there is nothing inside the chamber other than the cable inner passing straight through see picture 3. I am intrigued, has anyone any idea as to what this chamber is for or meant to achieve ??

Regards Tony

It's an adjuster to take up the slack on the throttle cable.

Moving the u shaped clip up and down the various grooves increases/decreases the slack in the cable.

Yep, you'll see on your throttle body that there may well be some slack cable on the cam quadrant. This allows for some of that slack to be taken out.

Hi Arwyn / Sewin

Gents many thanks for that.

The yellow barrel shaped component on the end of the upper cable with the slot in it for the clip I thought was moulded to the end off the cable because I could not move it. so it would seem it is seized. I will give it another dose of looking at.

Regards Tony
