Gordon Nichols posted:No, if you disconnect the linkage and put a similarly-thick washer under each idle stop, it should open each throat the same without using the linkage.
Unless I'm mistaken (now THAT might be a first
) that is what Rich was doing.
Yes, I know exactly what Richard was doing. I guess nobody gets what I'm saying. Who gives a flying whatever about behavior with washers? No linkage, idle stops, ok. that's necessary. But I only care what the synch is when the LINKAGE is pulling on it. Because driving conditions matters. Get it? Jeez, I hope so. You people(Gordon) are dense. The question is why would you want to do that and what does it accomplish?I'm out.
Honestly, Richard, if you are at 7K you are at WOT, and they will read the same, if they could be read. The only time synch really matters is at idle and small openings such as cruise.
