After reading the archives, I had a close look at ly throttle linkage. SInce I was by myself, I couldnt hold the pedal down to the floor to test, so I just moved the whole setup by hand, figuring it would stop when the pedal hits the floor.

What I found was that at full extension of the linkages (full throttle), the linkage was about 1mm from the bolt that is supposed to stop it.

Going back to the idle position, I found that about 3/4 of the way back, the throttle linkage hit the minimum extension bolt (the vertical one that is kind of recessed), and so from there the linkage moved back to the rest point of the pedal, but the part on the IP did not move back any further.

So, I suppose I ought to adjust things so that at full throttle the setup just barely touches the max throttle bolt on the IP. This ought to reduce the travel of the linkages once the setup hits the minumum bolt, right?

What is the best linkage to adjust to do this. I knwo ther are all adjustable, but Id prefer to mimimize adjustments so that it is simpel, fast, and easily recoverable to the original way if I want to change it back for whatever silly reason.

Any help would be great,
Thanks,

JMH
