N/A
The throttle on my engine has two stop screws, one for tick-over and one for max rpm, each operating so as to limit the movement of the throttle, by stopping either end of a quadrant fixed onto the throttle spindle.
The throttle has a rod linkage from the remote throttle/gearbox operating lever, which determines the position of the throttle when in the mid, 'neutral', position.
I need to increase the tickover slightly, and it is all VERY inaccessible. Before I do anything, I need to resolve a perceived procedural problem.
The neutral position of the remote lever, through the stiff rod linkage, determines the neutral position of the throttle, but the tickover adjustment LIMITS the position of the throttle. Is the procedure to back off the tickover stop screw, then adjust the rod connection to the ball-joint, then bring the stop screw back up to the throttle quadrant?
I would be obliged for a knowledgeable answer. My engine is a Beta 1005, I cannot even hazard a guess as to the type of gearbox/throttle operating system.
If this seems senseless to you, then you probably have a different arrangement to mine, so please leave it to someone who recognizes the arrangement.
