    Thumbs up Series throttle pressure

    About 2 weeks back, I read a post from someone complaining about the heavy throttle in his Landy. Am working on that very problem on my S3 at the moment. Once I have it sorted, I will post again. The biggest problem I see, is all the linkages and springs everybloodywhere. Looking into a cable type setup, with a secondary hand throttle for rough travel, much as we had on the International fire tenders we had in the Navy. Like I said, once I have it sorted to my satisfaction, I will let everybody who wants one, know what goes on.

    its an easy fix shorty, either stretch the springs on the linkages... or move their anchor points a little... using a zip tie to start out with so you can work out where to move em to is the go.

    G'day Shorty943

    The throttle pressure on series should be medium, so that you have no flutter on corrogated roads, there are 2springs, 1 on the right hand throttle linkage near the brake/clutch, the other is the wound spring on the left side on the cross shaft up to the carby( (the bracket from the inner guard that links with the carby)this is often under wound or over wound, and an extra spring fitted on the carby particularly if a Holden carby has been fitted.

    cheers

    Yes fellas, I know all that. Don't have to like it. My idea is to use a (possibly) Ford pedal and cable assembly, and double carby cables with a slider bracket for friction locked hand throttling in the rough. As I mentioned in my post #1, this was the system we had on the old R model International AWD Fire Tenders in the Navy, ( me, all 5 ft 6 inch, big tough fire and rescue engineer. Chuckle) and it worked beautifully.
    Don't want to sound snakey, but , please remember I am not a layman. I am an Ex Navy Engineering Mechanic, I hold tradesman's rights in 5 engineering trades and as a retired small ship engineer, not much is beyond my capabilities. Just a bit new as a Landy owner. Even driven the old bosses Firefly,( Naval Police Seargent) who else has even seen a real Firefly, let alone driven one? Little Red beasty,with a great big bronze bell on the front bumper, towed a pumper trailer with a Coventry Godiva powered pump unit mounted, any one seen one of them? Possibly only other older ex-servicemen. Maybe Dave, quiggers, and a few others.
