So I've heard the throttle linkage is a problem for many and I am at the brink of just converting to a regular throttle arm but I just want to see if there is anything I can try before doing all that work.
So when applying full throttle the actual throttle linkage is moving to about 75% throttle which is after many adjustments. I tried "tightening" the ring that acts as a spring for the throttle arm and loosening the servo screw (which might just be counterproductive anyway). I have installed a new return spring on the carb that is stock savage and it doesn't pull very hard so that shouldn't be the cause of my problem either. The carb is cleaned out and relubricated, the only thing I really haven't tried is adjusting the angle of my carb and the link on the carb slider. A worthy mention is that it's an lrp .32 however it had an f3.5 in it before that with the same issue. If anyone has an idea of what else I can try to "stiffen" the throttle arm let me know.
