Component Testing: Dashpot

  2. Bring engine to normal operating temperature and run engine at idle. Connect a tachometer. Increase engine speed to 3000 RPM. Slowly reduce engine speed and ensure dashpot rod contacts throttle lever at 2650-2950 RPM. If not within specifications, adjust by turning dashpot.
