Dashpot System

  1. Slowly open throttle arm until dashpot rod is fully extended. Release throttle arm and measure time until throttle arm contacts stop screw. Time should be less than 2 seconds.
  2. If time is over 2 seconds, replace dashpot check valve and retest. If rod does not operate, check for bound linkage, or for clogged check valve or vacuum line. If they are okay, replace dashpot.
