ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 12-79
5. Use a feeler gage to measure gap between
contact arm and either grounding point on magnet
assembly, Fig. 12-94. This gap should be ap-
proximately one-half of the full gap measurement
in step 2. If gap is not within specifications, con-
tact arm is not centered properly. Loosen screw
on actuator clamp, Fig. 12-94, and rotate actuator
until contact arm is centered between the two
grounding points on the magnet assembly. Then
tighten clamp screw and recheck gap.
NOTE: When making adjustment for center-
ing contact arm, make certain that clamp is
pressed down firmly against actuator cams.
Otherwise, clamp fingers will not follow the
cam when actuator is turned.
6. Remove Locking Arm Gage and Governor
Weight Wedge.
100. Linkage Adjustment
1. Adjust throttle rod and T.V. rod as described
in Section 10, Note 26c.
2. Start engine and operate at slow idle with
transmission shift lever in " P a r k " .
3. Remove cotter pin securing trunnion on ex-
terior arm plate, remove washers, and separate
linkage from exterior arm.
4. Insert Locking Arm Gage, J-7652, over stop
stud and hold exterior arm securely against gage,
Fig. 12-97.
5. Turn trunnion until it aligns with and enters
hole in exterior arm freely.
NOTE: Due to angle trunnion enters exterior
arm, it is possible for arm to be moved away
from Gage when trunnion in inserted. Make
certain that arm is still against Gage after
trunnion is installed.
6. Install washers on trunnion and secure trun-
nion to exterior arm with cotter pin.
7. Remove Gage and shut off engine.
101. Control Cable Adjustment
1. Rotate selector dial counterclockwise as far
as it will turn without forcing.
2. Loosen screw on dust shield. (This screw
retains control cable in bottom of dust shield.)
3. After loosening screw, pull control cable
out of dust shield, making certain that ferrule at
end of cable is free in bottom of dust shield.
4. Reinsert ferrule in dust shield. Push in
lightly on control cable until it stops, Fig. 12-98.
Do not force cable beyond this position.
5. Again try to rotate selector dial counter-
clockwise only, in order to make certain it is at
low setting.
6. Tighten screw on dust shield securely.
NOTE: Be careful not to change cable po-
sition when tightening set screw on end of dust
shield.
102. Omni-Switch Adjustment
The points of the omni-switch, which are
mounted on the terminal block, must be together
until the magnet assembly reaches the wide open
throttle position. At this time there should be at
least .025 inch clearance between the points.
