Carmine:
I do have a linkage problem. The throttle arms are the same length, center of shaft to rod attaching hole, and L & R rods connect to a single pivot arm, but if you adjust the rods to have throttle plates closed at idle, they will be out of sync at wide open, and vice-versa.
I synced them at idle figuring I would be driving mostly in the 1k to 3k rpm range for the initial jetting of the low speed circuits so it should be close enough. Evidently I was wrong, and I will ck the sync to 3K and see how that is. I had planned to totally re-do the linkage anyway, so I'll have to pursue that. Couldn't find the pieces I need to do it.
