The gas pedal of my truck has a clearence about 3cm = 1.18" from zero acceleration to full speed. I think thats a little bit to small. What can be the reason of this small clearance? I think the way from zero to full speed must be larger. The top of the pedal has a spacing about 11 cm = 4.33" to the bottom of the cap. Can it be that I install the bellcrank wrong. Which of the arms shows to the engine block, the long one with the two holes or the short one with one holes? Ask Wolfgang http://s66.photobucket.com/albums/h242/wokri/?action=view&current=Vergaser-Wippe.jpg http://s66.photobucket.com/albums/h242/wokri/?action=view&current=Gaspedal3.jpg Last edited by wokri; 11/08/2009 4:51 PM.
