[Harry Yarnell]

Me thinks your confusing CW with CCW. CW stands for clock-wise. If you 
rotate the TV CW, it sort of freewheeling (no resistance to rotation) until 
the end, where you will mean SOME resistance as the internal lever presses 
the downshift plunger. Then the end of the belcrank (for the link to the 
carbs) will be at 12 o'clock.

Also,when it is in this full (as full as I can get it CW) the swivel on 
thethrottle rod from the tunnel will not fit in the belcrank'sfitting. I 
also noticed that when I go CCW,there is a sort of pressure change at the 
end of the rotation thatlasts about 1/4" of the turn and when I let go,the 
belcrank passes back though that until the main part of the arm isat 12 
o'clock.
