[DML] Re: Cruise control

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I too connected my cable to the spool. That was in 1989 and 40,000+ 
miles ago with no problem. I did however set it up so that there was 
little slack at the throttle closed which also prevented a possible 
wide-open-throttle position by the cruise control. Maximum is 
probably 3/4 or less which maintains speeds on highways at 75mph ok 
and prevents too much slack build up of the throttle cable.
