The bead chain, which connects the speed control device to the throttle arm of the carburetor, was installed without a cover. Under certain conditions, such as when traveling on an incline, the chain could wrap around the throttle arm and hold the throttle half open.

The remedy

Dealer will install a plastic cover over the bead chain. Also, a restraining strap will be installed to ensure a proper connection between the electrical plug-in connection and cruise control box.
