Williams air throttle
#15

We bought a used Williams air throttle actuator off Ebay that was taken off an 8V92 TA . It has bracket , lever , spring , etc. The bolt pattern on the bracket matches the governor cover pattern on the fan side of the engine . This will put the actuator directly under the exhaust pipe , which ,I suppose , will work if I wrap the pipe ( I removed the old , thick asbestos blanket ). Now for my stumbling block : the 86 has an electric /air solenoid to operate the " stop lever " on the governor . This solenoid conflicts with the air throttle bracket and actuator . I believe that the solenoid can be re positioned , but this could get into a time consuming deal . Looking at other positions for the actuator assembly , but the turbo inlet hose is in the way of the lever. I am missing something here , if anyone can shed any light on this I would appreciate it .
I know Kyleb went to the Williams on his 87 , using a cable . Would that be a "push /pull cable ? I would think it has to be as the actuator I have " pushes " when air pressure is applied . Would like to use this unit as it works very smoothly , reaches full extension at 50 psi .
Good day to all , spring is just around the corner !
