Paul,
I realize this answer is a bit tardy, but I have been all wrapped around the
axle
on other issues and never got around to an answer.
I have a suggestion for your 100% throttle stops. They are called "spring
plungers"
in the McMaster-Carr on-line catalog. Here is a picture of a set:
=46rom RIGHT to LEFT: Spring Plunger and Mounting Base, Spring Plunger
partially screwed into the Mounting Base, Spring Plunger fully screwed
into the Mounting Base, Mounting Base turned 180=BA showing the ball end
of the Spring Plunger. The black thing is the Adjusting Wrench.
I have not actually installed them yet, but I plan to give them a try
once I get the W/B issues associated with the tri-gear conversion sorted
out and things are running again.
The plan is to establish the 100% point. Then installing one of these
things one each side of the throttle plate so that the throttle hits the
stop-ball at 100%. Then a good push should advance the throttle through
the spring plunger balls and on to 115%.
These things come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Go to
http://www.McMaster.com/ and they are about 1/3 of the way down the main
contents page under "Fabricating" -- "Clamping and Positioning"
Good luck.
