- Remove the throttle body assembly from the engine, and loosen 2 WOT switch retaining screws. Hold throttle in wide open position, and attach a Throttle Angle Gauge (J-26701 ) to flat surface of the throttle lever.
- Rotate scale to align the 15° mark with the pointer. Level the gauge. Rotate scale to align zero with the pointer, and close the throttle enough to center bubble. This positions the throttle at 15° before wide open throttle.
- Adjust the WOT switch lever on the throttle cam so that the plunger is just closed at 15° position. Tighten the retaining screws, and remove the gauge.
