    <p>I'm working from memory--will check the manual later--but the way
      I interpreted the instructions were to adjust the switch with the
      throttles a spec distance--prob. the 3/16" as Steve
      mentions--opened.  For some reason, I thought this should be
      achieved by pressing on the accelerator pedal to achieve this
      setting which, of course, would pull up any slack in the Rube
      Goldberg throttle mechanism.  So, I set it this way but felt that
      it required too much pedal when disengaging the OD.  I just
      fiddled with the adjustment to where the OD disengaged with what I
      felt was appropriate pedal.  Maybe the 3/16" should be measured
      without allowing for linkage slack, maybe not; does anyone know
      for sure?</p>

            set the adjustment on the throttle switch recently when the
            overdrive began disengaging as soon as the dash switch was
            turned off.  Being out of beer at the time, I used a test
            light connected to the throttle switch and inserted a 3/16"
            (5 mm) drill bit between the throttle stop and lever (as
            directed by the workshop manual), then adjusted the switch
            until the light just went out.   That worked perfectly the
            first time.   I used bad language anyway, just for fun....<img
