Does the lever need to travel the entire distance (fully forward to full rearward)?
It doesn't need to go all the way rearward , within an 1/8" would be ok , 1/16" would be better. The back of the slotted rod must be against the stud when the throttle is at rest with the lever on the trans at it's full forward position , idle position , and begin moving as soon as the throttle starts moving all the way to full throttle.
That's what I thought but I believe I have a lot more than 1/8" of travel left after I get the carb to full throttle. I didn't think to measure it but I'm guessing 1/4" or so...
