Rob, my coach has been slow, also. Do you remember your rpm's at the poinnt
where you could not make forward progress? Ernie-83pt40 in montana

Rob. With my 83 PT 35 i have been on some hills as you describe and have not
had any problem. You may want to check and make sure you are droping into
first gear. The air cylinder on the throttle may also be gumbed a little. You
may
also try removing the line into the cylinder and putting a few drops of oil
into the cylinder.

I ran into a situation today that made me a little uncomfortable.. we
were leaving a campgrond this morning and had to stop for a stop sign
at the top of a steep hill. Our sweet running 6v92 was not able to
pull out straight up. It didn't have the power. The toad made it
impossible to back down very far, but I was able to cock it sideways
slightly to recover, and, after a fight was able to proceed
forward.Lucky lucky. This coach has always been a little slow out of
the chute, but until now has not been a problem. It runs great
otherwise. My question to youall is this.. Is there an adjustment on
the throttle that can help? thanks!

The big problem is there is a setting on your fuel to prevent you to
accelerate untill your toubo
reaches a 1000 RPM this prevents your engine from smoking.
I had a detroit two cycle man to readjust it so this nolonger happens to me
this fuel adjustment is referd to as a California setting.

Rob, I believe Bob Loomas said that there is a "California" modification in
there. I talked to him about that and he said mine must have been removed. I
smoke a lot on start ups but still have power. Not much speed, though. But--
with all the weight, it's better then standing still. Ernie-83pt40 in montana-

To Ernie and all who responded:
I was too busy looking in the mirrors to notice the rpm of the engine
when this happened... It sounds like from your responces that there is
an adjustment. In the near future, I will contact a dd shop and have
them take a look. Thanks!
Rob Sargent 85pt36.

Ernie,
The Kal modification is the addition of a damper on the
throttle. When you floor
the pedal, it limits how fast the the throttle will open to prevent that
great cloud of black
smoke by allowing the engine/turbo to get up to speed slowly. If removed,
you can still
drive with no smoke by carefully modulating the foot throttle with
judicious use of the rear
mirrors----smoke, back off; no smoke, more throttle.
The nice thing about removing the damper is that when you do floor
it, you do get that
little bit of more umph when you need it...
Blair

Hi Ern! Will be heading out the pass right around January 1st or so, maybe
earlier.... going south to see two shoes, if he'll let us, Jack too! then
on to Quartzsite
until the 14th...then to Utah, and Texas. Got space? I'll bring the wine.
Wallace and Faye are definitely on our list.
