Re: Torqueflite Cable Adjustment

[Schuyler Wrobel <sky62@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The absolute best way to adjust the buttons is to remove the pan and  
adjust N for perfect central contact on the neutral saftey switch.
Kickdwn linkage. Make sure when throttle is wide open , kickdown  
linkage is all the way back as well. That is all there is to it.  
Works perfect.
