Are you having trouble with the accelerator cable on your Ape 50? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many Ape 50 owners face issues with their accelerator cables at some point. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of changing the accelerator cable on your Ape 50, step by step. So, let’s dive right in!

What You Will Need:

  • A new accelerator cable
  • Socket wrench and socket set
  • Pliers
  • Adjustable wrench
  • Jack and jack stands
  • Protective gloves

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Prepare Your Workspace

Start by finding a well-ventilated and well-lit area to work on your Ape 50. Ensure you have enough space around the vehicle to move comfortably. Park your Ape 50 on a flat surface and engage the parking brake. Wear protective gloves before proceeding.

2. Disconnect the Negative Battery Terminal

Prior to any work under the hood of your Ape 50, it is important to disconnect the negative battery terminal. Use your socket wrench to loosen and remove the negative battery cable, and set it aside in a safe place.

3. Locate the Accelerator Cable

The accelerator cable is typically located near the engine bay. Open the hood of your Ape 50 and visually inspect for the accelerator cable. It is usually a thick cable connected to the throttle body.

4. Remove the Old Accelerator Cable

Use pliers to carefully detach the cable end from the throttle lever. Once detached, follow the route of the cable and locate any clamps or brackets holding it in place. Use an adjustable wrench or a socket wrench to remove these clamps or brackets. Gently remove the old accelerator cable from the car.

5. Install the New Accelerator Cable

Take the new accelerator cable and thread it through the same route as the old cable. Ensure it passes through all the clamps or brackets in the correct position. Attach the cable end to the throttle lever with the pliers, securing it tightly in place.

6. Test the Accelerator Cable

With the new cable installed, reconnect the negative battery terminal that you previously disconnected. Start your Ape 50 and test the accelerator cable by gently pressing the accelerator pedal. Ensure smooth and responsive movement of the throttle. If the cable feels tight or binds, double-check the installation process.

7. Final Check and Clean-Up

Once you have confirmed the functionality of the new accelerator cable, give your Ape 50 a final visual inspection. Check for any loose bolts or connections that may have been overlooked. Clean up your workspace and dispose of any old parts or materials properly.

Congratulations! You have successfully changed the accelerator cable on your Ape 50. By following these steps, you can save money on costly mechanic visits and keep your Ape 50 running smoothly.

Note: If you are unsure about any step in the process, it is always best to consult a professional mechanic or refer to your Ape 50’s manual for guidance.
