[QUOTE="krakum1967, post: 126110, member: 3691"] Well, I did not get to the bags yet. I spent the afternoon doing the new extended throttle arm I had to add. Like I pointed out last night, the full range of the throttle was all within a twist that measured about one inch on the throttle. I had to lengthen the throttle turn. It was impossible to take off gently, and it made gear transitions really challenging. So I modified an L-bracket I bought on clearance for 33 cents. I drilled two holes in the bracket used to mount the bracket to the bottom of the existing arm. I was running the throttle right off the provided nipple on the linkage, but the throw was way to compact. ANyway, I effectively added 3/4 of an inch to the length of the arm with the mod. Now I get a nice full spin on the throttle. It seems to ease it into the various stages of the carb easier, so I am not dumping on it all at once anymore. It runs much smoother now, and it is very easy to turn. The throttle is very easy on the hands and behaves like normal now, even better. Hopefully this is the last time I have to pull the carb for a while. [/QUOTE]
