Adjustment of controls

When these are completed, release the locknut (A).
Fig. 26.
With the -h in. (4.76 mm) dia. rod (B) in position
and the adjusting nut (C) on the solenoid plunger
(D) touching the fork (E), screw in the stop pad
(F), until the inner face of the recess in the pad (F)
makes contact with the end of the adjusting nut
(C).
Then screw the stop pad (F) back three full turns.
When cor-rectly set, the clearance between the
end of the adjusting nut (C) and the inner face of
the recess In the stop pad (F), should be .150 in
(3.8 mm).
By following the method given here, the clearance
is correct, without the need to take measurements.
