Thanks Craig,
I drug out the shop manuals and the chiltons to peruse over beers. No
good answers on just what the correct adjustment is. I suspect it
needs the cable to be new. The old one lost the lead knot on the end
that would have been right. I have it bent over to lock it to the
slide mechanism

That cable is adjustable, in some manner. You need to

Yeah, they combined all three systems on one easy-to-use knob.
Until it breaks, then it's a PITA. But if you fix it right
you can go back to your nearly-unstealable stealth ignition
system.
Yeah, what he said.
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.
