Throttle rod question

[nhusa]

I am working out the details of getting my Town Sedan going smoothly and have a question about the throttle rod.

The vehicle was ideling a bit fast so I made sure the hand throttle was fully up and adjusted the stop on the carburetor, but the stop did nothing because the hand throttle was stopping it from bottoming out.

I saw no adjustment so I bent the rod between the steering column and V thing.
Then I could use the stop on the carb.
Did I miss some place to make an adjustment or is there a better way?

bend the arm on the throttle where the rod from carb to to throttle goes sometimes u have to also bend the throttle arm on carb also

No bending necessary,3031 turn column.loosen gas tank clamp and clamp lower area eng compartment, rotate.

Thanks Gary-- It's a 31 town sedan.
I did some work on the steering box so that makes sense.

Keep an eye on the spark advance limits when doing this.

I did some work and didn’t get the clamp tight, I was in a hurry to go for a test drive :-( After rework, I got to go for another test drive
