Accelerator control spindle jams against motor

[Tony Griffiths]

In my limited experience, I have had to make up just one new set of control rods for my 1930 Chummy. While one was OK, I made the other a tad too long - the interesting result being that when on full lock, the accelerator was depressed - resulting in a fortunately avoided accident. So, the conclusion: If you make up new rods (and you might not get it right the first time) do check for clearance at the extremes of travel.
