ok, for all you twin carb/throttle body experts out there....
I have a redline weber twin throttle body set up....got the linkage cross bar etc. from the same place... I can't get this stupid thing to work correctly (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) I can get the right side to open and close fully and the other won't open all the way...I have switched everything around many different ways...even changed out the linkage cams...??? The linkages rotate into the center of the motor...flip the carbs around? so they rotate out? the ball for the cross bar is down...if I flip it over, it will interfer with the air cleaner?? THis is driving me crazy!!! the only thing that I can figure out is that the holes are drilled off. one must be out further than the other..or the carbs need to rotate different amounts...??? I also can't figure out how to mount the crossbar to the front of the motor...I guess I could make up another cable stop...but??? I guess I can shoot some pics when I cool down...now for (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) thanks! |

Couple of things to check. Does each one open fully if the cross linkage is disconnected? They have to work that way since when setting them the linkage is disconnected. If you hook one side up will it open fully? How about just the other side will it open fully? If the problem is when both are hooked up then the linkage is flexing due to some misalignment. The drop shafts should be as close to vertical as possible and make sure the carb cams or what ever they are called are on the throttle shafts fully and tight. I've had them come loose and rotate some on their own. Finally make sure the arms on the cross shaft are tight and not slipping when you work the throttle. Grab'm and see it they move on the shaft. Good luck.
