thats called the ofna throttle mod. when i was working on a homemade version, i watched this video quite a few times to get it right.

how about you chuck a picture of how you set yours up, from there we can see exactly whats what

It looks something like that yes some differences I will get a pic up here if Ican figure it out.

sorry, i had just edited my post, did you put in everything that came with the ebay purchase? i see on your picture that the throttle return spring and linkage collar is missing (mind you, thats not the issue here).

so when you "gas it", the throttle linkage (thin metal rod) bends? does the carb open at full throttle?

Yeah I never finished putting it together I got to that point and gave up on it.THe throttle opens fine but the rod bends hella bad.

when i was making my own linkages, i tried using the metal rods from coat hangers. the linkage would bend and flex everytime the servo would apply load on it...
you very well could have a flexy linkage there. try using the setup with your original rod. or if your DIY, you can go to the lhs and buy just a long linkage rod and using two pliers, shape the linkage to your liking. the linkage metal rods that you get from your lhs can handle the load which a servo puts on it

i hope this helps

Icontacted the guy Ibought it from and he told me to move the throttle stops farther down the rod. That did keep it from bending now but now Ihave the problem of Idont have as good as response from the trigger Ihave to pull it pretty far for it to start reving the engine I guess its one of them things Igotta live with. Anyways here is a picture of the finished product.

Can you still reach full throttle?

Yeah I havent tested it but I will today but it appears that it hits full throttle

Adjust the throttle rod to where when it is at full throttle, the carb is just opening all the way. Then, make sure it closes back to idle when you let off, and if not, you may have to play with it. It should work with some fiddling.
