Yeah Bobby came over to day and we took the burb for a test run and after a few adjustments and not to mention that the carb wasnt opening up completely,now that will make a difference!
He had the burb burning rubber before the sun went down,he still has a couple of things he wants to do to it and I think I'll let him.Bobby when you get the burb dailed in its my turn on your truck.lol
thanks bud

Not a problem.

I still have some playing to do with the burb.
It has lots of horses to find that are hiding in there

whats the eaisist way to find out if your carb is opening up all the way? ive been wondering if mine is, or isnt..... its a qjet

Take the breather off and let someone push the gas petal to the floor and while there doing that look down the throught of the carb and see if your butterflys are standing straight up and down.

Is this adjusted by the throttle linkage that goes from the pedal to the carb, or is it adjusted at the carb itself?

It's done by the linkage but I have the cable style so I made a bracket to move my linkage back a 1/2in and it works fine.
