13. Thread a nylon clevis twenty turns onto the threaded
end of the 2-56 x 15-3/4" [400mm] pushrod wire. Slide a
silicone clevis retainer over the clevis. Install the wire into the
tube and then bend the wire as needed to allow the clevis
to attach to the throttle arm. Slide the silicone clevis keeper
over the clevis to keep the clevis securely locked.

14. Center the servo arm and move the throttle arm on the
carburetor to half throttle. With the servo arm on the throttle
perpendicular to the servo case, mark on the pushrod where
it crosses the outer hole of the servo arm. Make a 90 degree
bend at your mark and cut the pushrod off 1/4" [6mm] beyond
the bend. Hook the pushrod to the throttle servo arm and
secure it with a nylon FasLink.
