I have taken a hard look at my accelerator linkage (specifically the bell crank lever, the bell crank and control rod assemblies) and find that there is a lot of slop in the system in that full accelerator pedal pressure will not give me maximum carb activation, whereas if I press down on the top control rod I can get a lot more gas into the carbs. The whole bell crank assembly is a lot of wasted motion in my view. The accelerator linkage on the PI cars show a lot more positive action with direct cable linkage. Has anyone done anything to tighten up the stock linkage (replacement bell cranks are not available.)? Or converted the carb setup to cable actuation? I am running trip carbs but the linkage setup is basically the same as stock. I suppose I could take a little more slack out of everything but I don't how much further I can go. I need more positive acceleration.
