Get a smooth, direct link between your gas pedal and carburetor with the Pioneer Carburetor Accelerator Cable CA-8512. It is a replacement cable for the 1977-1983 Jeep CJ5, 1977-1986 Jeep CJ7 and 1981-1985 Jeep Scrambler. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
The accelerator cable connects the accelerator pedal to the carburetor throttle linkage. When you press the pedal, the cable pulls the throttle open. When you release it, the throttle is allowed to close. Pioneer offers its cables as a quality replacement option.
- Made to OE specs: Pioneer produces this cable to original-equipment specifications.
- Steel inner cable: A durable steel inner cable carries the pull from the pedal to the throttle.
- Polymer outer housing: The housing surrounds the inner cable and protects it from corrosion and abrasion.
- Common hardware where applicable: Pioneer cables often come with common brackets, grommets and ends when the application calls for them.
A cable may need replacing if the pedal sticks or binds, the throttle is slow to return, or the cable is frayed or kinked. A cracked or worn housing is another sign. Linkage or carburetor problems can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the cable.
