A Simpler Mod to Achieve the Same Results!
Guys,
I have found a much simpler, and cheaper way to do this without cracking the part opening and messing with those brushes.
All you need to do is "shim" or put a throttle stop in place. It worked as well. Now the tach will jump with just the slightest pressure applied to the throttle!
After removing the part and looking at it, here is what I did:
1. This pix shows the actual throttle control itself
2. This pix shows the TC with the area where the gas pedal lever makes contact and stops.
3. This pix shows the TC with a part throttle condition
4. This pix shows the TC with a WOT condition:
5. This pix shows good old 3M Scotch double sided sticky tape (wide type).
6. This pix shows the "meat." Here I have inserted the double sided sticky tape such that the sticky side is to the left, and the protected sticky side is to the right. I then used a razor knife to cut the tape flush. The protective sticky side's protection paper is still in place so it does not stick to the gas pedal lever as it moves!
7. This pix shows the "shim" or throttle stop in place after I did the flush cut.
8. Finally, this pix shows a partly open throttle condition, with the new "shim" or throttle stop in place!
It does work! Also, not to take away from "tube's" findings as he inspired this idea, but this method is non-invasive and seems to work just as well. This is sort of like taking a pill to fix a medical problem, rather than resorting to surgery!
Hope this helps.
