H throttle ratchet repaired

Posted by riverbend on October 14, 2004 at 18:53:04 from (208.160.34.160):

It looks like the critical thing is to get the lever straight. There is a heel on the short side of the lever that rides on the bottom of the cap. Ideally, the ratchet tooth and the heel are the only two points that touch the cap. After 60 years or so, the lever bends so the bushing in the middle touches the cap. Consequently, the ratchet slips. A permentent fix might be to weld a gusset across the major bends in the lever.

When I straightened the lever, the bend between the pivot and the throttle rod broke. It was crystalized and looked like broken cast iron. The pivot pin on the cap was also bent, i.e. not perpendicular to the rim of the cap.

It worked great all day digging potatoes at part throttle.
