Throttle Position Switch: Adjustments

Throttle Valve Switch:






1. Disconnect the throttle valve switch electrical connector S 29/2x1. Connect an ohmmeter between pin 1 and pin 2 of throttle valve side of the connector. Close the idle valve fully (against the idle stop).

^ The resistance reading should be 0 ohms.

2. Open the throttle valve slightly and place a .009 in. feeler gauge between the throttle valve lever and the throttle valve stop. Push the throttle valve lever against the feeler gauge.

^ The resistance reading should be infinite ohms.

3. If the resistance reading is incorrect loosen the throttle switch mounting screws.
4. With the .009 in. feeler gauge in place rotate the throttle switch slowly in a clockwise direction until the ohmmeter reads infinite resistance. Retighten the mounting screws.
