lokar kick down adjustment
The extra spring in the picture is not needed to pull the T.P. lever forward. the spring in the valve body is all. The first bit of travel nothing happens. there is a cam shaped shoe that pushes the T.P. valve in after it moves a bit. Adjust the T.P. lever so it is all the way back except 1/8 " at W.O.T.
Another thing that may or may not be covered here is the carb-to-arm ratio; matching the distance of travel from idle to full throttle at the carb, and transferring it to the throttle valve arm. If the cable travels say 1 3/8" at the carb, the cable needs to cover that same distance below otherwise, the line pressure increase ratio isn't right from a factory engineering standpoint.
Most Lokar set-ups could benefit from a hole drilled inboard on the TV arm to get the ratio right; at the very least, checked.
Here is a clean example, gleaned from a ramchargercentral thread:
