Recently did a Link & Sync, and I am having a few problems with the throttle control. I will say that the throttle control was never good even before the Link & Sync. I did try to follow the Top Secret post as well as the Factory Service manual. Here are the problems:
1. Once in forward gear, the cam does not move until about 1-2 inches of travel on the shifter, though the cable does start to move right away, but very slowly. In other words the cable starts to move, but the cam lags behind.
I have tried adjusting the cable adjustment wheel at the engine pretty far in both directions, but cannot get it to respond the way I expect, which is that the cam should start to open the carbs when moving the throttle control just after being in forward gear.
I am confident that I have the cam and cam roller properly adjusted according to the factory service manual.
2. When trying to go above 2000 RPM, it is very sensitive.
If you move it just a bit, it sometimes goes a full 500-1000 RPM higher. You almost have to move it slightly and then back to not have it jump so far.
I have adjusted the friction control on the control box to the loosest, but still the same issue.
Am I looking at a stretched cable, or should I look elsewhere like the control box?
Thanks,
Chris
