Carb throttle not fully openning.

With my foot pressed hard to the floor there is still a bit to go at the carb end.

What can be done to achieve full throttle ?
 
Simply bend the throttle linkage to get maximum throw. Bend it slow and cold.

It could be someone installed the engine with the linkage installed and bent it against the firewall. Easy peasy
 
It can be wear too.

Hey, thanks for the picture.

See where the arrow points? That is the easiest place to bend to fit. Won't hurt a thing to give it a little bend.
 
I was nervous about bending the throttle assembly as I was afraid it would break. What I did was make an adjustable rod that goes from the throttle assembly to the carburetor. I cut the rod in half and threaded both ends then threaded a small tube. Bolted everything together and stopped it with jam nuts. Adjusted it accordingly. It draws criticism from the purists, but it works great.

That's exactly what I was thinking earlier today Tom Endy. Im see surprised no one has sold that rod that goes to the carb with an adjustable section in the middle
 
Question does it go full throttle with the hand lever? If not then I have bent the arm in the picture with the arrow point to it. I slipped a box wrench over it and bent a little in several places.
