Have you rotated your carb clockwise a bit? This helps give more throw in most cases. Also, rotating the throttle arm on the carb so that it is barely in the slot of the pivot arm adds a bit.

i tried the arm a little but never though to rotate the carb a little..i will give that a shot. the throttle keeps hittn the rod and wont go any further.

Bend the rod. Put a bit of an arch in it and it will help. Rotating the carb will also give you more if hitting the rod is the issue. It will change the direction of the slide carb in relation to the rod and you will gain a few more mm's hopefully.
