Re: Throttle not open all the way
Yes, you FORCE it to WOT at the throttle arm. There is a ratchet mechanism in the TV cable (kickdown cable) that will ratchet it to proper adjustment with significant force applied.
If this makes you queasy, you can push the big "D" shaped button on the side of the TV cable head (you have to push it pretty hard to get it to depress) and you can slide the cable forward and backward manually in the cable head to adjust it.
