Throttle pot change? Help!!!

[kal-el]

I need to change the throttle pot on my Chimp, and have the part. Is it easy to fit, or should I take it to the experts?

Thx

The basics are plug and play. Disconnect the flying lead fromt he throttle pot to the main engine loom; press the centre of the connector and ease apart the two halves.

Get a medium sized slot screwdriver and unscrew the two machine screws holding the pot to the side of the throttle body, being careful not to drop screws and/or washers; remove old pot, replace with new, tighten screws up, reconnect connector.

If you want to go the next step you can adjust the pot for voltage, but this requires fettling and TBH shouldnt be necessesary to get the car running again. If you are interested, look at the details on the RPi website www.rpiv8.com/carbs-2.htm#setting-up

Check the connector is the same first and the number of wires is the same.

It's set by voltage - see :
www.rpiv8.com/carbs-2.htm

"Find the Throttle pot on side of plenum. There are three (3) wires coming from this unit to a multi plug. Do not disconnect. Wire colors are Red, Green, Yellow. Red from volt meter to red wire of pot. Black wire from volt meter to Green of pot. Volts should read .33 to .35 volts if not, loosen the two (2) screws that hold it in position and turn it to get the correct voltage. If you cannot get the correct voltage setting, undo and remove the throttle pot, make the fixing holes elongated and you will be able to get the right voltage"

That's ok, I'm getting blamed for quite a bit at present, another bit won't matter

Hope you get it sorted.
