I was extracting the screw from my engine block on my 83 diesel (thanks to
all those who offered advice, it came out fine and the new oil sensor is in
and working) and I noticed that there is a fair amount of slack on the
throttle cable that is connected to the carb (do diesels have carbs?) and
then works it�s way forward to my pedal.  I noticed that there are two
limiter screws on either side of this thing, one to set the beginning of
it�s travel and one to set the end limit.  So my question is, should I
readjust the cable tension so it is taught in the �at rest� position, or do
I set the first limiter screw so that the cable is taught?

Not sure if that made sense but hopefully you�ll get the picture.

Thanks

Dave
