I never really checked if the webers were fully opened at WOT. Guess what, they are not!
A little less that 1/4 travel is left to get the throttle plates fully straight. DOH!!! It accelerates fine but it could accelerate faster!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Drop links from the crossbar to the carbs are nice & tight and are in sync @ 1000rpm and also at 4000rpm, so i'm figuring it's either some ajustement in the rod between the crossbar & the bellcrank on the engine or the rod between the bellcrank on the engine and the tranny or the ajustement on the throttle cable end at the tranny. I'm just not sure from what end i should start to playing with the linkage It seems like i'm running out of travel at the bellcrank on the tranny. Any basic things i should check before playing around with the linkage??? TIA Marc-André |

I hate to disagree with Zois, as he has much more experience than I.
However, I wouldn't grind it off. Readjust it, if need be. Cobble together a substitute if you can't find a good replacement board. That stop has a function. It prevents your foot from forcing the carb linkage past where WOT is. It prevents damaged linkages and bell cranks. YMMV Rusty |
