Gas thrust

The connected linkage between the gas pedal and the injection pump is very sensitive to kink. If during operation it weakens in the engine compartment and is located at an unacceptable angle, then it may already be damaged. A clear warning signal is the heavy travel of the gas pedal. After that, you should be prepared for the fact that the thrust may soon crack. Accordingly, when installing a new gas thrust, it must be handled with care.

The end of the gas thrust on the articulated axle box at the lever «gas» Remove the injection pump with a screwdriver.

Pull out the safety washer on the stop of the gas draft sheath.

Pull off the shell after removing the washer from the rubber bushing.
