When I turn the belcrank CW, it moves freely and I don't feel any  
change in torque pressure that would be the detent (I suppose).   
Also, when it is in this full (as full as I can get it CW position)  
the swivel on the throttle rod from the tunnel will not fit in the  
belcrank's fitting because the rod begins to touch the bottom of the  
chassis.  I also noticed that when I go CCW, there is a sort of  
pressure change at the end of the rotation that lasts about 1/4" of  
the turn and when I let go, the belcrank passes back though that  
until the main part of the arm is at 12 o'clock.  That would seem to  
me to be the "detent" that I have been told to pass before installing  
adjusting the swivel on the throttle arm from the tunnel and  
inserting into the belcrank.  Is this the normal way that the  
belcrank should behave?  Sorry to ask so many questions, but this  
apparently is not covered in the Service Manual, my Richard Finch  
book, and the exploded diagrams of the parts books (both right and  
left coast) are not much help.  There is no leakage of any note from  
the belchank side, although there is a pool on the passenger side  
probably from being hiked up on its driver side rear wheel for the  
last two days.  So, what I understand is that the belcrank internal  
mechanism is probably ok.  If so, I really need help to figure out  
why things aren't lining up.  I hope I can get her road worthy by at  
least 1:00 in order to attend our NTCA summer banquet today.  I'm  
going to step back into the garage and try again while I wait for  
replies.
