Hi all,

I'm coming up with a question about the throttle and waste gate rigging on the Turbo Saratoga.
On our '85 model the engine was changed recently. Quite an expensive experience!
The new engine now has run about 30 trouble-free hours.
A few days ago, when opening the throttle fully for priming before engine start I noticed the mechanical stop in the quadrant seemed to be earlier than usual. However I wasn't sure if I was right.
Today on take-off I advanced the throttle carefully towards the red line at 36 inches, when the mechanical stop came already at 35 inches.

I think there is something wrong with that rigging, isn't it?
Is there a procedure I can follow to adjust the linkage?

Tom
