I posted earlier about the throttle shaft leaking on a Bosch VE pump and pumpguysc was very helpful, now that it's done I have another question. The throttle linkage is connected to the pump with a clevis and pin, after time the pump throttle lever hole has gotten wore to about 1.5 times the original size. Now it looks to me like the dozer isn't opening the throttle completely but I'd like to be sure before adjusting it. The throttle does hit the full open stop but the throttle linkage on the pump has a spring on it and can be moved maybe a 1/4" after it has hit the full open stop. My question is should I adjust the throttle to get this extra 1/4"? I figure it hasn't been adjusted like this in awhile because this part of the throttle was froze up when I took it off. I know it's not a good explanation but any help would be great. My service manual doesn't have anything on setting throttle linkage.
