Can anyone confirm the power valve adjustment for the 2010 800's

Owners manual lists the cable length at 1.377" The dealer I bought the sled from does not have a shop manual yet. I just wanted to confirm the specs.
I know they need to be set the same +- .005"

When I checked my new HCR, it was set at 1.200" on the PTO side and 1.185 on the Mag side. And yes, I had the slack pulled out.

35mm or 1.377 inches give or take .39 inches or .5 mm

Not trying to be a smart a$$ because i appreaciate the info, but 1"=25.4mm, so .5mm = 0.01968 inches.

The 1.377 was what I hoped to confirm.

Thanks RS!:beer;

With the cable's end removed from the servo motor, Just pull out any slack in the cable and measure the exposed portion of the cable, from the end of the sheath to the lower, nearest the sheath, side of the lead end. WHEN TAKING UP THE SLACK, DO NOT PULL SO HARD AS TO PARTIALLY OPEN THE POWER VALVES AND OBTAIN A FALSE MEASUREMENT.

Thanks Cosarguy. That's what I ended up doing....wasn't sure because the cables were both so far out of adjustment (2mm short) I thought maybe the measurement was with the lead ends included. Sled must have been built on a Fri. at 4:00. Should make a noticeable difference I would think.

CHEERS.

I had my cables replaced under warranty, after the riding season was over "The mechanic is a friend"
Did a whole bunch of mods in the fall including a full SLP Pipe set, if I would grab a handful on the bottom of the hill and hold it, no problems. But if I had to back out of it for a second and grab a handful again, it would flutter. Also when it got to riding temp on the trail it would do it.

I chased gremlins trying to figure out what the problem was "did find a bad stator before it left me stranded"

Finally someone here on SnoWest got it beat into my head to check the cable length. The professional mechanic had measured it full length. So always double check everything.

From the inside of the cable housing to the inside end of the cable that goes into the servo motor.
