General Fiat 500 Clutch cable adjustment

[Bolleke]

Hello everyone

Recently i bought a fiat 500 F with a 650 cc engine in it.
During the winter months i took time to work on the car.
I have renewed all the cables. I'm wondering what is the best way to adjust the clutch cable.
I have read the 650 cc needs less travel time in the pedal than the 500 cc?
Hopefully someone can help me.

The free-play at the pedal should be just over 1 inch (28mm). The cable is adjusted by moving the 17mm nut at the clutch end of the operating cable. Undo the 10mm lock-nut and back it off a bit. Move the 17mm nut until you have th correct free-play at the pedal---back the nut off to INCREASE the free-play, do-up the nut to DECREASE free-play.when you have adjusted it, lock it in place with the 10mm nut.
