(a) Idle speed. (Refer to paragraph 5-12e.)
Do not allow sand or dirt contamination
on the fuel control drive splines during
installation.
(1) If a new fuel control is to be installed, trans-
fer the tube fittings from the removed control to the
new control. Use new preformed packing. Lubricate
preformed packing on fuel tube fittings with oil (item
8, table 2-2). Do not lubricate preformed packing on air
tube fittings. Tighten the unions to 75-110 in. lb. Do not
tighten jam nuts.
(2) Check the max flow stop setting and adjust
if required. (Refer to paragraph 5-12h.)
(3) Coat the fuel control drive shaft splines
with lubricant (item 14, table 2-2), the studs with anti-
seize compound (item 15, table 2-2 ), and fuel tube fit-
tings with oil (item 8, table 2-2).
(4) Install the fuel control on the mounting pad
studs. Make certain the fuel control drive splines are
properly engaged in the gearbox drive splines; the fuel
control must be flush against the gearbox mounting
pad. Secure the control with three washers (43, figure
5-3) and self-locking nuts (42). Tighten the nuts to
70-85 in. lb.
(5) Install air tube (9, figure 5-2) between the
fuel control and governor. Tighten coupling nuts to
80-120 in. lb.
(6) Install air tube (15) between the control and
accumulator. Tighten coupling nuts to 80-120 in. lb.
Tighten the jam nut on the tube fitting to 55-80 in. lb.
(7) Install air tube (7) between the control and
governor. Tighten coupling nuts to 80-120 in. lb.
Tighten the jam nut on the tube fitting to 55-80 in. lb.
(8) Install fuel tube (16) between the control
and fireshield. Tighten coupling nuts to 80-120 in. lb,
(9) Install air tube (5) between the control and
governor. Tighten coupling nuts to 80-120 in. lb.
(10) Install fuel tubes (3 and 4) between the fuel
pump and control. Tighten coupling nuts to 150-200 in.

.
(11) Assemble the lever on the control and secure
with a self-locking nut. Position the lever in accordance
with the Rigging Check. (Refer to paragraphs 5-12d.)
Tighten the nut to 40-50 in. lb. (Overtorquing causes
binding of the lever shaft.)
(12) Check the pneumatic tubes for leaks. (Refer
to paragraph 5-8.)
(13) Bleed the fuel system. (Refer to paragraph
5-7.)
(14) Test the engine as outlined in Chapter 10
and make the following adjustments if required.
(b) Start derichment. (Refer to paragraph
5-12g.)
(c) Start acceleration - AVIM. (Refer to para-
graph 5-12g.)
(15) Make appropriate entry relative to fuel con-
trol replacement in the engine log.
d. Rigging Check.
Do not adjust the minimum stop to com-
pensate for aircraft rigging difficulties.
The minimum stop is set on a flow bench
and is not a field adjustment.

For N1 rigging procedures, refer to TM
55-1520-228-23.
Check the rigging of the gas producer fuel control
after a deceleration check has revealed the decelera-
tion time to be less than the allowable minimum. This
check is also required after installation of a fuel control
or any component of the rigging system. Make the
rigging check with the engine shut down using the
following procedure.
(1) Check to ensure that sufficient travel is pro-
vided to allow physical contact with the gas producer
minimum stop at or before the full closed position of the
twist grip.
(2) Check the travel to the opposite end. Phys-
ical contact must be made with the gas producer max-
imum stop at or before the full open position of the
twist grip.
(3) Looseness encountered in the rigging must
be minimized by replacement of worn items and/or
accuracy of the rigging. Looseness that cannot be
removed must be within the limits indicated in figure
5-5. Check the looseness as follows:
(a) Start with the twist grip at the full open
position then rotate the grip to the IDLE position. The
pointer must beat the 30 degree mark.
N O T
E
The pointer must be exactly at the 30 degree mark
for initial rigging setup or when rigging is being
adjusted.
(b) Start with the twist grip at the full closed
position then rotate the grip to the IDLE position. The
pointer must be no more than 5/64 in. below the 30
degree mark.
