    The throttle shaft should just start opening when that roller touches that hash line. Watch the linkage on the carb attached to the roller. It should start moving when the roller hits the line.

    Yeah, don’t be concerned about the slow/stop indicators on the throttle control, rarely accurate. Do not try to compensate/adjust by changing the throttle cam pick up.

    Good tips. Thanks. When I watched for movement of the main linkage today, instead of contact with the roller like I was doing, the mark was right on the money so I didn’t adjust anything.
