ok, for all you twin carb/throttle body experts out there....
I have a redline weber twin throttle body set up....got the linkage cross bar etc. from the same place... I can't get this stupid thing to work correctly (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) I can get the right side to open and close fully and the other won't open all the way...I have switched everything around many different ways...even changed out the linkage cams...??? The linkages rotate into the center of the motor...flip the carbs around? so they rotate out? the ball for the cross bar is down...if I flip it over, it will interfer with the air cleaner?? THis is driving me crazy!!! the only thing that I can figure out is that the holes are drilled off. one must be out further than the other..or the carbs need to rotate different amounts...??? I also can't figure out how to mount the crossbar to the front of the motor...I guess I could make up another cable stop...but??? I guess I can shoot some pics when I cool down...now for (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) thanks! |

i just bolted mine on after i opened the box. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) does the powder coating on yours match the cross bar? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) bottom line...use what works for ya. another thing i didn't like on the cb, was the goofy little springs that ride against the ball ends of the rods. the rod will travel a bit as the springs compress, imho. get the engine good and warm, and set the travel on the cross bar with the end bolts and jam nuts. done deal.
