mikaleda Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 first thing i would check would be choke and fuel air mixture i just saw a thread in here that gave detailed instructions on how to tune you'r weber try that first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 i have an idea If you have an idea then state it. I have an idea too, but you are the one that has to provide us with information. It sounds like your secondary is open. Check your idle speed screw, and make sure you have a little bit of slack in your throttle cable.

elementskaytr16 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 well my idea is that the throttle cable is a bit tight and might be holding it open just enough to where its causing it to go wot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The FNG Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I think if your throttle cable is only holding it a little open, then it should only rev up a little, not WOT. If that was the situation, then the second you tap the gas, it would be balls to the walls with no in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djellum Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 look inside and see if working the throttle cable works on the butterfly valve in the bottom. it may just be getting stuck open or adjusted to be open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
