| Greetings,
Hooking up the throttle is a small trick but not too bad.
Center the servo horn with throttle stick at half stick. Make sure you throttle curve is 0, 25, 50, 75, 100. Add the ball. Make sure to add thread lock.
First mount the L bracket to the base plate. Then hold the servo in place and attach the bottom screws and bolts. Do not tighten fully. Screw in the top two screws and bolts. Remove one screw at a time and add thread lock. Make all four snug. I found that a set of long curved surgical hemostats work well to hold the nut through the framework. You can get them at Micro Mark
The directions show the throttle push rod to be bent. I have not had to do this on the P&B trainer. Your servo and setup may require it for a good square connection. Add the clevis and add the ball link.
Remove the stock throttle arm from the engine Carb. (if you have not already) and add the Vario one shown on pg 1 of the directions. Do not add thread lock yet. Swing the butterfly and find the halfway point. Move the throttle arm so it is square to the side frames; tighten.
Power up the servo and go to the halfway point. Hold the Carb. open to the half way point. Measure the length from horn center to horn center. Adjust the length of the push rod. Attach the clevis to the carb. arm. (you may have to remove the Carb. to do this) Check that the ball link is over the ball on the servo while at half stick. Check you high and low settings and adjust you ATVs as needed. Make sure you are no more than a 10 point spread. If it is more then start over on the set up; recheck servo center and Carb. arm centering.
Once set up and at low stick the screw for the Carb. arm can be removed and thread lock applied.
This is the basic stuff. If you need more detail please ask or contact Joe at East Coast Vario.
