Bendix cruise control

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

There is no real time adjustment to be made for the delay.


Air, being a gas, compresses then there are mechanical items that the air
interacts on like valves and finally moving the cc-5 cylinder. So the
air, compresses slightly (one place for a delay) then goes through 2 or 3
valves in the process ( another place for delay) and finally the cc-5.
Now then the air starts out at 120 psi then is dropped by a modulator
valve then travels 40 feet (give or take) then through an inversion valve
and the throttle actually depends on the difference between the 120 psi
and 80 to 90 psi at these valve, resulting in your throttle works on 15
to 20 psi of air.


About that only thing one can do, is lube the cable from the cc-5
cylinder to the throttle body and reduce the mechanical drag produced
there.


Safe travels,

One of
the strangest sensations I had to get use to was the delay I receive on
my air throttle. Can this be adjusted to eliminate the response delay? If
so, how? thanks
