AdjustmentBefore carrying out any adjustment to the detent
cable, it is essential that the throttle control linkage
is correctly adjusted so that full throttle opening is
obtained at the carburetor.
After the throttle control linkage has been set, the
adjustment for the detent cable may be checked as
FOllOWS:1. Position accelerator to full throttle (pedal is nol
fully depressed at full throttle) and loosen and
tighten upper and lower adjuster nuts of detent cable

tem or evidence of moisture is obvious in the compo-
nents removed, it is recommended that the entire
system be flushed and the receiver-dehydrator be
replaced. A full oil charge of 10 oz. of 525 viscosity
refrigeration oil should be replaced in the system. It
should be noted that all service replacement com-
pressors will be supplied with 10 pz. of oil. In most
cases it will be necessary to drain oil from service
replacement compressor and refill it with amount as
specified in the Oil Replacement Table.filter screen on the expansion valve should be re-
placed. If the evaporator assembly is flushed while
installed in the car, the temperature bulb on the
evaporator outlet pipe must be disconnected to keep
the expansion valve from closing at the inlet source.
FLUSHING THE SYSTEMIt is recommended that dry nitrogen be used as a
flushing agent due to the low cost involved. In addi-
tion, dry nitrogen will not cause a temperature drop,
as in the case of refrigerant-12, which results in
thickening of refrigerant oil. Dry nitrogen has the
additional advantage of removing moisture from thesystem.Flushing of the system may involve all the compo-
nents of the system or individual components in the
system. The components may be flushed while
mounted in the engine compartment or may be
removed for flushing. When a component is not
removed, disconnect all refrigerant lines or hoses
attached to component. To perform flushing operat-
ion, connect a cylinder of refrigerant-12 to the com-
ponent to be flushed, ,then invert the cylinder and
open the cylinder valve so that the liquid refrigerant
pours out and through the component. When liquid
Refrigerant-12 reaches atmospheric pressure, it im-
mediately drops to minus 21.7 degrees F. Insure that
area immediately surrounding outlet of component is
clear of anything that may be damaged by contact
because of the sudden drop in temperature.MAJOR REPAIR
