Hi Hank, I have the 100-6/3000 factory shop manual in it does not detail =
the procedure like the Haynes Manual. It has several important points.

=20

1. Attach lead to terminal A and to a convenient earth point. If you =
attach to the fuse block the light will be bright or dim, but it never =
fully goes out when the setting is correct.

2. .048 is correct for my BT7.

=20

With that information it was easy to adjust and all is perfect now. I =
can reinstall the tunnel, carpet and seats. It will be great to have the =
O/D fully functional.

=20

Thanks for the help and sending the information.

Hi John-hope this helps-not an easy book to copy from (Roger Moment's =
book has a spiral binding which lays flat) In any event, here is the =
procedure to adjust the switch which as it says; once set its good =
unless you muck with the carbs.

=20

I hope everyone agrees with this procedure-no one seems to criticize =
Haynes Manuals. I could not locate this diagram in the 100 workshop =
book, but I have seen it; probably in the 100-6/3000 manual. Regards, =
Hank

I will try resetting the static setting, fine setting it and then the =

John- it is a .040 feeler gauge that goes under the throttle stop- That =
is equivalent to about 1/5 throttle opening. That is to set the throttle =
switch.=20

=20

The 3/16 drill bit is used to "static set" the position of the solenoid =
lever. I agree, that position is not alway ideal. Fine adjustment is =
made at the arm of the solenoid in which you get it to the maximum lift =
and then when it drops it clears the base about 1/32" at the same time =
gently pushing it in toward the casing to make sure it does not bind. =
Solenoid plunger must drop freely. I can send you that page from Haynes =
manual if it helps you to set the throttle switch Hank

I think I understand now.

I need to loosen the arm on the throttle switch, put a 3/16 spacer under =

Correct?

Bob's got the procedure.  Use a .040" feeler gauge (or 3/16 drill) under =
the throttle stop (1/5 of the throttle opening).  Connect a 12V test =
light to the fuse box and the top terminal on the throttle switch. (Good =
example in Haynes Manual page 124). Light should go out at this =
adjustment. Solenoid adjustment should be as Bob describes and work =
smoothly-no binding. Hank

Hi John,

What keeps the O/D from disengaging immediately when you open the dash =
switch is the 'throttle switch.' When the O/D is actuated there is a =
parallel circuit that will keep the O/D activated until you press the =
accelerator pedal, theoretically preventing reverse thrust from damaging =
the O/D. The parallel circuit runs through the throttle switch on the =
scuttle (firewall); it sounds like you need to adjust it. It's a simple =
adjustment using a certain diameter--I don't recall it offhand, but I'll =
look it up if you need it--drill bit under the throttle stop levers. =
There's a small shaft off the throttle mechanism that opens this =
switch--it's just a set of points and a cam inside--with a lever with a =
pinch clamp. Just loosen the pinch clamp, set the bit under the throttle =
stop plate and tighten the clamp.

If you O/D is actuating consistently within a couple seconds or so then =
your solenoid, operating lever, operating shaft and ball 'valve' are =
correct. The 'stick-a-drill-bit-through-the-lever-into-the-housing' =
method is notoriously unreliable; the proper setting is best achieved by =
measuring the lift--IIRC, it's 1/32" but not sure--of the operating =
shaft at the top of the O/D hydraulic section.

Hi All,

My overdrive is functioning again after replacing the accumulator =
housing and piston but it is exhibiting an odd behavior which I believe =
is related to the adjustment of the setting lever.

=20

When I open the toggle switch, the OD will sometimes disengage =
immediately instead of waiting until I blip the accelerator. When I =
adjusted the setting lever, I could not use a 3/16=E2=80=9D dowel to =
line up the lever with the hole in the housing I had to advance the =
lever clockwise a bit to get the OD to engage when the toggle switch was =
closed. This has always been the case and this issue is mentioned in =
some articles.

=20

Do I need to fiddle with the setting lever adjustment some more? If so, =
do I rotate it clockwise or counter clockwise?

=20

Any other thoughts?

Overdrive disengages<br><br>Hi John,<br><br>What keeps the O/D from =
disengaging immediately when you open the dash switch is the 'throttle =
switch.' When the O/D is actuated there is a parallel circuit that will =
keep the O/D activated until you press the accelerator pedal, =
theoretically preventing reverse thrust from damaging the O/D. The =
parallel circuit runs through the throttle switch on the scuttle =
(firewall); it sounds like you need to adjust it. It's a simple =
adjustment using a certain diameter--I don't recall it offhand, but I'll =
look it up if you need it--drill bit under the throttle stop levers. =
There's a small shaft off the throttle mechanism that opens this =
switch--it's just a set of points and a cam inside--with a lever with a =
pinch clamp. Just loosen the pinch clamp, set the bit under the throttle =
stop plate and tighten the clamp.<br><br>If you O/D is actuating =
consistently within a couple seconds or so then your solenoid, operating =
lever, operating shaft and ball 'valve' are correct. The =
'stick-a-drill-bit-through-the-lever-into-the-housing' method is =
notoriously unreliable; the proper setting is best achieved by measuring =
the lift--IIRC, it's 1/32&quot; but not sure--of the operating shaft at =
the top of the O/D hydraulic section.<br><br>Bob<o:p></o:p></p><div><p =
