Hi,Im new to the site and some great info discovered already
I have just bought a 1951 TED 20 and am having problems with the throttle linkage,It will not stay at full throttle and when you let it go from this position it returns to around half throttle, I have looked at some other TE Models and I dont appear to have anything different as far as springs and linkages go,Is there an easy way to set this up properly or does anyone know where I should start looking for the problem.
Thanks in advance for any help given

I'm wondering if my 1950 TEA20 has a cobbled throttle linkage or if it's the proper thing? It seems to work well enough but it's definitely not the ball and socket type. :-)

I've attached a link to a picture of my throttle linkage under the dash.

Sitting in the seat, if you look under the dash on the RH side, you will see a round disk about 2 inches in daimeter - it will rotate as you open and close the throttle. Behind this there should be a friction material (cork) which helps to keep the throttle at its set position. If the cork is not too badly worn, you can adjust the linkage position and therefore the pressure exerted by the disk on the cork.

I would strongly recommend you buy a reprinted Ferguson manual - there is a pile of information in them that goes into great detail on all sorts of setting up procedures - including the governor which is a very sensitive adjustment - the manual is worth every penny of the 30GBP equivalent you will probably pay.

Good luck
