  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I had an idea to have my son sit in the car and hold the throttle wide open,then I put a screwdriver in the slot on the shaft and turned it counter clockwise until the throttle blades were vertical.When I started it I noticed I went to far,now I can't get it back. :rant: :spank: :Do No:

    The secondary air blades should be adjusted with the engine off. And should have enough tension that they will close easily and have some tension. Usually start at about a turn and a half when they will close on their own. They won't open up when you rev it in park, but maybe a little. They need some resistance to work the best. they will open up under a load.

    The linkage connecting the primary to the secondary throttles is what controls the secondary throttle position, sounds like you bent it out of whack. Either that or you've bent the secondary throttle shaft itself (not good).

    Not a good idea to twist on the end of the shaft.
