[V8Vairs] Accelerator Hookup / PT 2

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

Thank you to everyone who responded.  I took the cable out to look it 
over.  I dont find any slop problems in the rest of the linkage.  I think 
part of the problem is the centerline of the cable is to high above the 
lever, so at the end of travel it is pulling down and binding the end of 
the cable.  I will try rerouting the cable at the end a bit to see if I 
can correct this.  I have a second cable that came with it but it is just 
a bit short.  I thought of rerouting it the other way to push, but that 
causes even more interference problems with the radiator.
