throttle problems

[picklesimer]

I just got done putting my 3.3 back together after a complete tear down to clean it and learn more about it and upgrade it. All the upgrades I did were not involving the engine or transmission. I did seal the back plate and carb with rtv though. I took it out to run it and it started fine, and idled fine. But, when I give it gas, it only goes maybe 5-10 mph. Nowhere near where it was before the tear down. It's not revving high, as if the slipper clutch was loose, but its actually revving to the right sound for how slow its going. Its definatley not getting fast enough to shift, as evidenced by the fact that...its...not shifting lol. I'm thinking this is a servo issue? Maybe I put them back together wrong or...I don't know. Any ideas?

Thanks guys and gals,

-Aaron

With the engine off but rx on watch you throttle linkage, if you go WOT on the remote does your carb open all the way? If not check and make sure the servo horn is centered on the servo.

Check and adjust your linkage, i do this anytime the motor comes out just to make sure and verify.

I have to agree from info provided. Center your throttle servo and make sure the Carb is closed to your idle position before securing the throttle horn on the servo.
