Hi all,
I have an Ericson 29 with an Atomic 4 (obviously) and I just replaced the fuel pump with an electric along with a brand new carburetor. I thought I was liking it up exactly like the old one--but low and behold--now the throttle is reversed. Pulling back on the handle increases the engine speed--where before I pushed the lever forward for more rpm. Now I inspect the old carb and see that the PO had an extension added to the lever. So now I need to either relearn the cockpit throttle lever direction or somehow attach an extension to the existing carb lever. Does anyone know why Ericson seemed to cobble up a non-standard cable arrangement? Any ideas on how to attach such an extension (the access to the carb is almost prohibitive of doing something fancy--as it would require me removing the entire hot system and fuel pump and carb). It would be easier to teach my brain to adapt (afterall I am dyslexic anyway!).
