Someone, please, the equation for determining the diameter of a bellcrank to be used on a Weber 40 setup. Standard 914 accelerator cable length/throw (full close/full open) and standard Weber 40 butterfly. Also, anyone know of a source for such a bellcrank? Hope not to have to farbricate one myself. No lathe so will have to be with an electric drill for turning power. Extremely primitive.

Let me see if I can remember how I did mine. If I recall, the sweep of the IDF's butterfly is 78 degrees. I measured mine. Then I measured the amount of cable taken up by the gas pedal (with the adjuster at about the mid-way point). The circumference of a pulley needed to pull the right amount of cable is the length of the cable throw divided by (78/360). The radius of the bellcrank or in my case, the pulley is the circumference divided by 2*pi.
So if the gas pedal took up 2 inches of cable, then the circumference is 2/(78/360)=9.2 inches. The radius of the pulley=9.2/2*pi=1.47 inches. So the diameter would be 2.94 inches. ![]() |
