[QUOTE="tumunga, post: 10471, member: 58"] Here are some pics of the install: This is the intake, looking down from where the carb mounts. You can see the ledge I talked about earlier. I don't think that should be there. Very, very shoddy workmanship. [ATTACH type="full" alt="LDWingnutIntakedowntube1.jpg"]728._xfImport[/ATTACH] here you can see how far of a distance I had to stretch the cable. With the cable here, it was stretched so tight, the engine idled at about 3500 rpm. This is before I started hacking on the throttle arm. [ATTACH type="full" alt="04ThrottleCable.JPG"]729._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here's another picture of the throttle cable. Note the position of the cable mount on the intake in comparison to the brass float bowl drain bolt. [ATTACH type="full" alt="LD_Install (13).JPG"]730._xfImport[/ATTACH] This next picture I had to beg for. It's from the LD's buddy who praised the setup as a 1 hour install. Anyway, I was told it had to be something I was doing wrong to the throttle cable to keep it from working, but as you can see in this picture of a fully operational intake, note the position of the throttle cable mount in comparison to the brass float bowl drain bolt.

I'm sure he's a nice feller and all, but his customer service skills are seriously lacking, as well as his fabrication skills.
