I did bend the tab a bit, but it's more of a mechanical issue--i can't get the metal throttle arms that are mounted vertically to have enough range of motion using the gas pedal to go from idle to fully open. I also had to bend the end of the one arm on the right that the paperclip style spring attaches to (the one that interlinks with the spring that goes into holes 1 through 5 mines in "1") just to get it to come up into a range where the gas pedal got some movement into the arms. I'm just wondering if I bent something moving the engine around etc. BTW, what state are you in? Been raining off and on all day. threw the worn out brake band on and got sloppy. if this thing even got 15 percent more throttle, it'd be flying. right now it seems like it has more snap at low rev and is maybe 2-3 mph down on top speed.
