With the dash knob pushed all the way in, the cable has to push on the injection pump lever to stop the engine. With the dash knob in the "released" position, the pin on the injection pump lever should be somewhere in the slot on the fitting on the end of the start cable. With the dash knob in the "start" position, the pin on the injection pump should be against the front end of the slot on the fitting on the end of the start cable and pulled a little more back than its normal operating position. This causes the injection pump to put out more fuel so the starting is easier. It's indeed possible to correctly adjust the cable. When it's correctly adjusted, everything works as designed. If this isn't enough information, I can look through my 1973 Chilton's and see if it has more. I may even scan the pages, but later, because I don't have time right now.
