Ok..Long story short, Took the engine off and thread locked the roto start cover Then got it all togther and my throttle arm is out of wack. My L-arm is not cinched down but when I turn on trans and reciver when I pull throttle I only get 1/2 open at full throttle. Can't adjust throttle trim cuz when turned on the carb is closed all the way and I can't get the throttle trim to adjust. I need help her guys, I've been talking with sweetdiesel all day and he's been great on info and walk thru but he's going out with some friends tonight and I got to give him abreak. Oh yea, I just got off the phone with him not 15 min ago and he told me to do these things and can't remember what all he told me..Long day guys!

Center your servo, turn all throttle adjustments to 0 and put the l-arm back on. and adjust it that way
 
Also, you can pivot the throttle arm on the carb forwards so it sits like / instead of |. This makes it contact the slide part on the L arm closer to the end which gives you more throw.

It sounds like you may have installed the carb at a different angle. It doesn't take much to make it not have proper alignment.

I edited an old pic I took of my linkage as I've had to do the same kind of think later when I moved the carb a little.

Basically, turn the throttle arm to be alighned like the yellow line:

Holy Schnike! Sweetdiesel has friends? Wonder if they know he "self-pleasures" to photographs of R/C car chassis'?

Nevnitro, sounds like, as the others have stated, it's a servo centering/arm adjustment problem. Easy fix, just try what has been stated.

Good luck, brother!
 
Thanks for all the help guys. Got it figured out with the help of Dom
You'd be the man Dom. Thank you!
