Thank you jag. I’ll inspect the regulator closely.

Greg I just did the same thing as you. Great idea.



Seemed the easiest at the time and I wanted to use the same micro switch. I can't find one that has a steel pin and proper size terminals. Ie a chunky one for under bonnet use. I have bent the arm a bit so I get throttle enrichment then kick down. Like click then click and I like it so you can adjust when the kickdown come in. See how it goes. Love these little things that make a difference.

So is the rod activating your switch?

Yes the rod activates the switch. Simple flip of the switch, position, drill two holes and button up. Took 20 minutes and it's adjustable which is what I was after.

Thanks for all the help! Purring like a cat! Now, how do you free up the kick down part of the original cable? I’m a bit of a purest and would like it. To work again. 🤷‍♂️

It's probably just seized up. I'd try your favorite penetrating oil and see what happens

Cheers
