Re: General carb question....

They should be and yes you should adjust. Search 'link/sync' and you'll find a ton of info.

Awesome, I thought that was strange but I am just basing that from a carb on a car. Thanks for the reply.

Don't just adjust it.....Find out WHY it isn't opening all the way and fix the CAUSE. Otherwise, you could be just adding a second problem, if you adjust the wrong thing.

BTW, it might not be a motor fault at all, could be the remote control.

Re: General carb question....

yeah for sure , see if the linkage on the motor itself allows the butterflys to go wide open!!!

hopefully it is a cable issue and you are just bottoming out on the controls stroke limit.

good luck
