Thanks Kostya for all your help on the Bus :thumbs: :thumbs: We pulled the new 1835 back out of the Bus and churched it up. Put new tins on it, installed the Italian 40 IDF's, and installed the Tiger Side Winder. Having issues with the CB linkage angle and the throttle cable returning but I hope to get it running this weekend.

I've got a bunch of CB linkage extra parts, let me know if you need anything?

Thanks, we think the issue may be the angle of the throttle arm?? It's pulling the wire throttle cable at a hard angle. I'm going to pickup a stranded throttle cable today. The linkage is set on the top setting on the carb. We tried to pull it down the the lower setting but the generator was in the way. I'm going to put taller manifolds on it and see if we can clear the generator. That may help?? I've also ordered one of those rollers to see if it helps??

Yup, I ran into those same issues... the angle of pull was binding before it had a chance to twist the bar... I think its because the CB linkage was originally designed for low profile manifolds...?
I ended up using the roller set up as well. I do have a new one, unused and still in a box, if you don't want to wait for your to be shipped?? just offering to help, so Kostya can get his garage/driveway back someday. lol

Thanks, it's back up in Dallas now... I wonder how it would've worked with low manifolds with the generator? Regardless, it's a pretty hard angle..

I run the CB setup with little issues.. if any at all. maybe non that I think of it..
it returned well and everything. .

I think there is no reason for you guys to run it on the top set of holes -you should use the bottom.
you'll get a better angle and more throw on the throttle .

Go down and move the center pull up one setting on the hexbar.
