carburetters slotted link (14) is removed. Fit the nut
and tighten the bolt.

Remove the block of wood if one was used,
from the accelerator pedal.
10. Operate the mechanism and ensure that it func-
tions without fouling and that the fulcrum lever (5)
and control rod (3) do not tend to toggle over when
the accelerator pedal is released sharply from its full
throttle position. If the compensator mechanism does
toggle over, control rod (7) should be disengaged from
fulcrum lever (5) and control rod (3) lengthened until
toggling is prevented. Control rod
(7)
should then be
shortened to suit and re-fitted to fulcrum lever (5).

of the gear changes on light throttle; these should take
place as follows.
(a) First to second gear-5

(8 k.p.h. to 13 k.p.h.)
(b) Second to third gear-12 m.p.h. to 15 m.p.h.
(19 k.p.h. to 24 k.p.h.)
(c) Third to top gear-22 m.p.h. to 25 m.p.h.
(35 k.p.h. to 40 k.p.h.)
3. It should be noted that the gear changes will
occur at a higher road speed with a full throttle open-
ing. The gear changes should take place at the follow-
ing speeds.
(a) First to second gear-18

be shortened. Shortening this rod will move the pedal
away from the toe board thus allowing the kick-down
button to be raised clear of the carpet; the accelerator
lever pedal-stop (if fitted) will have to be adjusted to
suit.

kickdown setting quoted should provide
sufficient 'feel' for most owners, if however, a more
positive 'feel' is desired, the button may be raised a
small amount beyond the setting given.

adjustment
If
the controls have been set to the instructions already
given, the final setting should only involve adjustment
of the T.V. micro-adjuster and possibly the re-
setting of the kick-down button so that the 'feel' it
provides coincides with the advent of kick-down in the
gearbox.
