WFO switch




I switched,

I made my '88 5ktq  switch anyway.

  The top two wires in the switch are for the idle circuit and they do click
when opened or shut.  

I forget exact specs but you should have closed circuit at idle and then open
infinite ohms when opened.

The bottom two wires are for full throttle. Infinite at idle and ? ohms at full
throttle.  I had nothing at full.  I took the switch off and cleaned and did a
little adjustment to the contacts.  For whatever reason I never got the exact
ohms the book said at full but I got continuity so that matters. So at Full I
get xohms and everywhere else I get infinite.

It isn't a potentiometer so don't expect a range as you test the middle
settings.  It is an on/off for idle and on/off for WFO.

The switch was a pain to open.  It is now sealed up with black RTV.

I did notice a difference.  I've been mening to check to see if it still works
with the meter but.........   Someday.
