    Here's pics of my setup. Only problem I still am missing 1/8 full throttle, tried to adjust a zillion ways an(gas pedal not the problem) cant get that last squeeze out of it. Seems like the bracket sits to high and wont let it pull "down" that last little bit. Best run has been a 9.75 ,,, still want full throttle!

    That's nice!
    So what your saying is that the cable goes all the way back but the throttle needs to go down slightly, at the leverend. ?

    blugene got it right. I tried to go with other holes but cable rubs housing end and I don't really like it. I did get my summit order, update fuel pump an got the above mentioned bracket.
