| Post subject: | Lokar- proper lever action? |
I am starting with the Lokar cable setup and I noticed that my kick down trans arm dosen't move all the wat forward on its own. This is with nothing hooked to it. I can push it all the way back and then let it come forward and it stops pushing forward about half way. The other half way forward I have to pull it. Does this lever need to move all the way through it travel to work correctly? I know it needs to move all the way back at WOT but does it also need to move all the way forward at closes throttle? |

Yup, it does need to return freely on its own. If it does not, check for binding and/or too-tight bends in the cable. You may have to add a helper spring. |

I have no cables hooked to it at this point. Just a simple lever coming off the trans. This lever should basicly move its self all the way forward right? If I push it by hand it moves very easily about 1/3 the way back and then builds resistants the last 2/3rds. Is it possiable that the first 1/3 of movement would have no effect? If it does your sugesting installing a return spring down by the transmition? If a spring where to be installed up by the carb, the cable at the trans would fold like a wet nootle for the last 1/3 of its travel back to the full frontward position. I am being wordy to be clear. Thanks for your help. |

That travel sounds normal to me. |

Yep, I'm with Slantzilla. If nothing's attached to the lever, that sounds pretty normal. I thought you were saying that with the cable attached, you weren't getting full return. |
