    I have a 74lb thrust Minn.Maxxum.
    The problem is the last few times out the pedal seems to be getting more and more sloppy.
    Almost to the point its hard to control.
    I would say I have an inch or two off play in the pedal.
    Does anyone know of a way to tighten up the cables?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Brad G.

    Hi Brad,

    Right below where the cables come out of the pedal there is a flat head screw that you can turn to tighten the cables… should take care of the problem.

    With a little more investigation I found it!!

    If the Tightner dosen`t fix it…… You might want to pull the top cover off and check where the cable enters the head. The plastic holders in mine broke and my pedal got really sloppy. I plastic welded it back in and beefed it up with fiberglass matting. Really a weak design to start with.

    Good Luck

    Thanks Tom, that all seems to be allright–for now.
