Well I can't attest to the 7ACA model in details but the straight 7AC has a knob located in the overhead ceiling above the front seat (hidden by the zipper) which allows tension to be adjusted to the trim lever. However doesn't the 7ACA have trim located on the side wall?? Or is that the later 7EC's.

I am sure there is a way to adjust the tensions some how.

mr krog yes its on the left side wall. it think that ill remove the panel and see what has to be done. and if this weather ever straighten out ( rain wind more rain more wind and some rain) ill git some time on this thing. thanks for the help. Bob

Bob,
The Citabrias' throttle and carb. heat had leather friction washers on the bolt at the pivot point. Maybe the trim is the same.
