Accelerator Linkage 84 4Ks

[Donald Lamond]

I really need some help with this one.

Finally got time to put the new bushings into the accelerator linkage -
4 times, and still can't get it right.

I'v changed the damper upside down, inside out  and any other
configuration I could come up with. But kept coming up with a loose
throttle cable.  About an inch to inch and a half.

I went to the family album and installed it as illustrated.  Model A40,
84,MG 7, SG 21, Illustration 72-10.

Part # 15, the cable, fits into a bushing 18, from the left.  16 is the
buffer, the rear of the buffer has a permanent prong on the inside which
fits through a bushing onto the accelerator shaft #1.
When I hook up the cable and push on the gas pedal, I have about one
inch of movement and the slack mentioned above.

When hooked up properly, is the cable attachment in front of  or behind
the attachment to the accelerator shaft ?

My reading of the illustration is the cable attachment is in front of
the shaft attachment.

Any and all help appreciated,

Donald
