O.S 18TM carb not opening.

[scoobydoo2u]

hello! i have gotten so much help on this site i decided to ask this question also.
ok so.. my os18tm carb is only opening maybe 3/4 throttle (maybe a little more) i have rotated the carb both ways and its just not seeming to help much.. it only opened like 1/2 throttle right out of the box but when i rotated the carb its a little better now but still not all the way open any help would be great thanks!

Have you centered your throttle servo? Is there anything in the way of the linkages?

What truck is this mounted on?

nope havent messed with servo i will try and nothing in the way its on a revo 2.5R

I had to loosen the throttle lever rotate it forward so the little shaft was angled a bit towards the front. This allows the throttle pivot to get more throw on the carb.

Kind of difficult to explain...

You needed to move it closer to the servo in order to give it more pushing room on the throttle lever. Did that help explain?
