Ive got a question about the stock DUAL Solex setup, I had this problem with the Notch and finally noodled it out but the Crate setup which is complete with the original springs has the same issue. When you open the throttle fully it sticks open, the left carb on the crate will lodge in the fully open position. What happens is that the lever passes over the straight position and back the other way so the spring actually starts to hold the throttle lever open rather than trying to close it. The right carb seems OK. What do I have connected or adjusted wrong? Is this a quirk with these setups? Nothing seems to be binding and both carbs are fresh rebuilds.
