Default Accelerator jack shaft

Thanks Lynn. I was able to get the two castings from Brian A. and that told me rod dia., but that is as far as I got. Arm lengths off the jack shaft would be great.

Default pedal ovals

Lynn,

That information is a huge help. I am sure others will also benefit from it in the future. Your description and pics make it apparent to me how the forked end holds the roller but I am still confused about one thing. On the back of the pedal there are two angle pcs with one side of each having a large oval. Does the arm/roller of the ½” jack shaft do anything with the ovals? I had assumed that the roller would some how be inside the ovals. Now it looks as if the ovals have no purpose and the roller rides on the back of the pedal between the angle pcs. Is that the case? Sorry to be a pain.

Thanks,

Stephen DeMocko

The clevis pin that holds the roller in the arm, also goes through the slots in the pedal. I guess it stops the top of the pedal falling back toward the driver.

Default One more question?

Hi carrier folks. I had some success in fabricating my accelerator jack shaft thanks largely to the information Lynn posted above. I have one more question though. My carrier project did not have a bulkhead when I started. I made mine with pictures and dimensions I received from other forum guys. After going through the thousand or so pictures I have collected over the last couple of years I don’t seem to have a single one that shows where the accelerator push rod goes through the bulkhead. I have a rectangular slot next to the round hole for the hand start handle but do both the clutch rod and accelerator rod both use it or am I missing a hole? Any pictures and greatly appreciated and thank you all for the help.

Hi stephen, Just an observation on the rebuild : Carriers only feature a single spring washer on the assembly bolts, I see you are putting in flat washers as well. I am looking for a picture of this too, dimensions/profile of those 3 spring plates would be good too if any one has them.

kevin.
