FarmallFarmer09 22 #1 Posted 6 hours ago (edited) Just wrapped up the restoration on my 71 charger 12, with a kohler k301, but theres still a few adjustments that need done. I pulled the throttle lever and line off when redoing the engine, didn't rebuild or replace anything just took stuff apart to paint it. Before restoration, The throttle lever would work fine, all the way up on the throttle equals top throttle things like that. Well when i put it back together, It now is super touchy, like full throttle is now only half way up on the lever and now i only have idle and full throttle no in-between. Ive adjusted everything with the linkages and even bought a new spring and everything and it still doesn't work like it used to. What should i do?

WHX?? 56,598 #2 Posted 6 hours ago Move the spring on the governor arm to the third hole up from the bottom that's where mine like to be. Guessing you set the governor to the manual? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 20,544 #3 Posted 6 hours ago 3rd hole from the bottom. Make sure the clamp on the throttle cable on the valve cover is tight. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
