Hi all,
I'm having lots of fun learning about the Zenith 22FZ on my special... I'm having a bunch of challenges, which I'm working through.
One of these is that the hand throttle seems to give way too much adjustment - if I set it up to be tickover when warm to be right at the top of adjustment, the bottom position must be about 6000rpm (without load).
This makes it tricky to set the tickover during warming up, leading to embarrassment at the traffic lights - either stalling, or over-revving!
The thing is, I can't see any way of altering the "amplitude" of the effect of the steering wheel lever on the throttle - so, are they all like this, or is something awry with the linkage? #
Bits of the linkage are somewhat non standard (I think they're just bent galvo wire...) but the key bits seem standard....
Cheers,
James
