Ok, awesome.

It wouldn't idle for me with the stick all the way down and trim in the middle. That was when it stopped. I may play around with it tomorrow.

I gotta get a tach.

When setting up the throttle, I place the trim in the middle. I put a tee pin in the carb and close the barrel on it. With the radio "on" I adjust the linkage toconnect from the throttle arm to the servo arm.

I remove the pin and open the transmitter throttle lever fully and observe the action of the throttle arm on the carb and the servo arm. I usually have to reconnect the pushrod to a inner hole on the servo arm. I try to get it to where there is no binding with the pin in the throttle barrel for idle and that all the travels match up with the throttle arm on the carb and the servo arm on the throttle servo.

Oh, ok, gotcha. I think as-is, the carb closes completely when the throttle is all the way down. Thanks for the tip! I'll give that a shot tomorrow.
