After my adventures with the shift linkage bushings (in this thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=187814 ), the hand throttle in my -6 seemed to be disconnected. That is, after reassembly the position of the hand throttle seemed to have no effect on the idle.
Here's a view of the shifter/lever end of the hand throttle linkage from last weekend:  I'm hoping that during final re-assembly I knocked something loose at the shifter/tunnel end, which I ought to be able to re-attach once I get in there in the morning. But if not, where the heck is the other end of that linkage -- under the gas tank? (I was about to check the PET when the computer I have it on decided to lock up as a special fuch-you-and-good-night just for me... A sign I should turn in and get some sleep, I think.) Thanks in advance, --Steve. |

Being a factory-6 on the pedal end of the rod it has or had a plastic radius end cap. If this fell off or deteriorated, It will cause the rod to be shorter and less effective. You can fix this by making the rod longer by adjusting it.

The missing 5mm without the cap is neglecting. It may not work properly until it is assembled because you have too many spring forces counteract Like gas pedal and carb springs |
