Mech Secondaries not opening
So I finally decided to check if my secondaries were opening all the way and they're no where near what they should be. If I hold it to the floor they maybe open 15 degrees. I have a BTO TV cable and throttle cable bracket. I had to modify it originally by adding a piece of steel to extend cable out so it wouldn't bind. I'm using the stock 91 TBI cable that I had on my car. The carburetor is a 700DP. I can open the secondaries by manually opening the throttle but it takes A LOT of travel. The carb is second hand so I have no idea what the guy before me did to it. Anyone out there run across this problem or something similar.
Thanks

Re: Mech Secondaries not opening
are you running the bolt through the proper hole in the carb arm to get full travel?

look at your arm and see if there is a lower hole, that would probably be it if your stock cable doesn't work.
