4-60. Accelerator and Linkage

a. General The accelerator linkage consists of

the pedal, a bell-crank lever, and a flexible push-

pull control cable which is connected to the

carburetor. Ball joints are provided at both ends

of the push-pull cable to eliminate twisting,

kinking, and binding. This linkage group also

includes the manual push-pull choke control

cable.

b. Inspection and Adjustment. The linkage

and cable arrangement is properly adjusted when

the vehicle leaves the factory. However, in time

components will become worn and require ad-

justment to maintain smooth, even, control of

engine speed. Proceed as follows:

(1) Check pedal and pedal lever for secure

mounting. Make certain the nylon roller on the

underside of the pedal is in good condition.

(2) Check ball joints at each end of cable for

general condition and secure attachment.

(3) Check entire length of cable for kinks,

permanently deformed bends, or pinched spots.

(4) Check clips, brackets and cable mount-

ings for secure mounting.

(5) Check return spring for secure at-

tachment and adequate tension to return linkage

to idle when pedal is released.

(6) Disconnect the cable from the carburetor

linkage at the ball joint connection to the main

throttle lever.

(7) Adjust cable length by loosening the clip

(29, fig. 4-29) and positioning cable so that

carburetor reaches the full throttle position just

as the accelerator pedal contacts the floor board.

Reconnect cable to carburetor throttle linkage.

(8) After adjustment, make certain that

cable clips and attaching points are secure and

properly aligned.
