Cruise Control Servo Cable: Adjustments

1982---83 CRUISE MASTER
Servo Unit Adjustment
Adjust the bead chain cable or rod so that it is as tight as possible without holding the throttle open when the carburetor is set at its lowest idle throttle
position. The cable is adjusted by turning the hex portion of servo. The bead chain or cable is adjusted so there is 1/16 inch of lost motion in servo cable.
The rod is adjusted by turning link onto rod. With rod hooked through tab, on power unit, turn link onto rod until dimension in Fig. 27 is obtained, then
install link and retainer. This adjustment should be made with ignition off and fast idle cam in off position with throttle completely closed. When
connecting the bead chain or cable (engine stopped) manually set the fast idle cam at its lowest step and connect the chain so that it does not hold the idle
screw off the cam. If the chain needs to be cut, cut it three beads beyond the bead that pulls the linkage.
Regulator Unit Adjustment
To remove any difference between engagement and cruising speed, one adjustment is possible. However, no adjustment should be made until the
following items have been checked or serviced.
1.
Bead chain or cable properly adjusted.
2.
All hoses in good condition, properly attached, not leaking, pinched or cracked.
3.
Regulator air filter cleaned and properly oiled.
4.
Electric and vacuum switches properly adjusted.
Engagement--Cruising Speed Zeroing
If the cruising speed is lower than the engagement speed, loosen the orifice tube locknut and turn the tube outward; if higher turn the tube inward.
Each 1/4 turn will alter the engagement-cruising speed difference one mph. Tighten locknut after adjustment and check the system operation at 50 mph.
