Just picked up this motor last week. It's a 1999
I'm cleaning the carbs right now and noticed the top carb throttle plate only opens up maybe 75% and evidently that's factory. If I bent that tab to make it open up fully would that give me more HP? Is this Nissan's way to restrict these motors?
Also is there a procedure to maybe bleed or to make sure the oil injection is working? I see the oil is in the filter area but the tube that comes out of it appears to be dry.
I will probably run it on a mix until I know for sure that thing is working.
