throttle adjust

This is my first truck with the rod style throttle. I was not getting wide open due to the carpet job the PO did. So I threaded the little adjuster towards the front of truck I think that was right. Any danger of adjusting it to far that way? The throttle stop on carb will stop it from opening the carb to far right?

Thanks

Re: throttle adjust

You will want to thread the adjuster onto the rod so that the rod becomes shorter. This will raise your accelerator pedal off the floor.

Re: throttle adjust

I think that is what I did, moved adjuster toward carb making arm move toward carb.
