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! |

are the arms movable on the rod? if so, you need to slide them out to the point where they are just clear of the filters. that may help with the shallow down angle. when you go to dial them in try this. filters off, engine warm. back one idle screw off. use the other one to raise the idle to the point when the pulses don't effect the sycronometer ( i use 2700 rpm). adjust one of the rods to match the flow, or the ammount the throttle plates are open. turn the idle back down and turn the idle screw not making touching back in to just enough to make contact without affecting the idle. shut the engine down, have someone depress the gas pedal and look to make sure the throttle plates are fully opening. i have huge k&n filters, i had to use the "off road" variety of cb's base plates. the cross bar was too wide and i had to trim the length and redrill the ends. then i got rid of the pos and put on the triad.
