[QUOTE="fivestring, post: 178394, member: 4869"] To run the throttle cable, I drilled a hole in the heat shield and mounted a piece of angled steel to hold the cable with the stock nuts. [GALLERY=media, 29383][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 29385][/GALLERY] I get a straight pull to full throttle easily. I noticed the carb rocked slightly when rolling the throttle. So I added a metal brace on the back side. It is very solid now. [GALLERY=media, 29386][/GALLERY] I wanted to see what would happen with the carb right out of the box. I didn't check the idle screw or mixture screw for adjustment. After hooking up the air cutoff solenoid and electric choke to switched 12v, running a ground wire to the carb and hooking up the fuel and vacuum, I was ready for a start up. I ran the starter with the kill switch off to get the carb full of gas. When I saw the accelerator pump shooting a stream of gas in the throat, I turned the kill switch on and touched the starter and it instantly was idling at around 1500 rpms! It revs pretty well. I tried turning down the idle. I could turn the idle screw all the way in and get it down to around 1150. I played with the mixture screw some but it didn't seem to be making a huge difference except I got it to decel quicker which would tell me it isn't running lean. I noticed the exhaust smell was rich. I didn't check plugs yet or take it down off the lift for a spin as I have a few other things to finish up first. I will paint the intake with krylon once everything is dialed in. [/QUOTE]
