For me, after a full day of Don's homework, an oil change and some other minor work this weekend in typical for August 90 degree + humidity Virginia heat, I took her out for a test drive. Everything went well through the sub-division and then, what the hell, I was only getting 25% throttle at most once I got on the main roads here, no matter what the peddle stroke. I started to panic thinking my routing of the new silicon rubber manifold pressure tubing to the Megasquirt ECU (another Don recommendation) was kinked somewhere or maybe that same tubing that runs through the log manifold was jamming the throttle cable rod.
I got home and looked under the hook and, if you inspect closely, look at the two stainless clamps on the intake to throttle plate rubber connector that were so nicely positioned and shiny on the right side near the throttle assembly.
Well, one of them was completely obstructing the throttle mechanism's pivot past 25% or so.
Doh!
