I was in the process of checking coils and setting points on the motor, when i ran across this issue. in the pics it shows my throttle in slowest and fastest settings, as you can see when its full throttle, it's only half way on that (what do u call that fin that pushes the throttle cylinder out?) thingy. and when its all way down, then it travels way past the fin, and across the wires. as a result, i realized, that when i tried to start the motor earlier, maybe it didn't start bc the throttle is closed? bc, when i looked inside the carb as i moved the throttle back and forth and tinkered with different hole placements for throttle linkage, at best, i could achieve is just a fraction of opening compared to full throttle.
Confounded, i went out to the 15hp johnson i got running on my boat, and looked under cowl as i turned the throttle. on Johnson, the throttle cylinder traveled across entire length of the fin. Then i blew my head thinking about it, and posted it here. please help.
