Yup – you can’t adjust the collar with the throttle fully advanced.

So where SHOULD the throttle be when making these adjustments?

Open the throttle until the mag plate hits the stop – NO FURTHER. The throttle will be about 2/3 open at this point. NOW adjust the collar as described previously (collar just touching the pivot pin), and tighten it down. Now, as you advance the throttle further the rod takes over as the collar butts up against the pivot pin, to fully open the carb butterfly. The cam roller will have nothing to do with it. In fact, the roller will actually push away from the cam and not be touching it.
