THROTTLE SERVO
To install the throttle servo it is necessary to make the control rod up as this determines
the position of the servo. Take the 290mm x 2mm rod and put the plastic clevis on the
threaded end which will be connected to the carburettor throttle lever to prevent any
metal to metal contact. A small set will be required in the rod before it goes through the
firewall to allow free and easy movement, once the rod has been passed through the
throttle servo position can be determined. The throttle servo should be mounted on its
side either by servo tape or by epoxy. Epoxy is the more secure way and a good tip is to
run some insulation tape round the servo so that if you have to remove the servo you can
just cut the tape and remove the servo. The throttle control rod is connected to the throttle
servo arm via a swing keeper and may require a set in the control rod to allow free and
easy movement. Once attached to the servo glue the servo into place.
