Throttle

[Walter59]

I just purchased a 1994 hunter 29.5. When I shift into reverse the leaver interferes with the wheel it hits the spokes even at a slight idle, if I need more throttle you can't steer. Is there some type of adjustment?

Thanks

can you post a pic of the installation? I have never had a clearance issue

Probably you need to adjust your lever position. The neutral should be "3 oclock". It is quite easy, just take a look at the lever end-shaft side.

I went to take pictures of my throttle control but due to heavy rains I wasn't able to do so. Right now neutral is at the 12 o'clock position, reverse comes back to 9 o'clock and interferes with the spokes in the wheel when I try to turn. I took a quick look and did not see a way to adjust it. How is this done. Thanks for any advise.

On my friend's 1997 H280, the throttle neutral is at 3 o'clock position. 12 is full astern and 6 is WOT forward. I suppose the PO adjusted the throttle to 12 o'clock for easier handling of the lever.
