MIKES_DUSTER OP master Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 9,146 Now - Port Orange,Fla. Former...	Again,BIG THANKS goes our to Rick Lucas(AARLUCAS)for all his help!!!!! Now,I took it for a quick ride down the road. Drove nice,still need better alt for charging but I stopped,brought up the rpm's to around 2000 and nailed it. Now,I know im only using about 1/2 throttle but it felt very sluggish. Could it be the plugs?? Carb?? or tranny?? Or all the above???? LOL

I know its something small and im sure we'll get it figured out. Can some of you post some pics of your stock throttle cable hook to your carb?? I cant figure out why mine wont give me full throttle.
