Yes, The reason for the three holes. Adjustment. Some of the stock merc. setups have piece for the increase.

I did my adjustments at the throttles/shifters with stops vs. at the carb. This gives you a positive stop with no pressure on the carb linkage. Also, I personally like the shorter throw.

I had the same problem. Look at the pic in post #6. Click on it to make it larger. You will see the the Alum. Piece I made and bolted it to the carb linkage to extend the cable out fruther. You need to move it about 3/4 of an inch. You'll have to play it a little. Not very hard.

I would not mind having the shorter throw, but i have hardly any movement before I am WOT. It is very annoying when I am trying to cruise at 3000. Your setup looks killer though!

I have the same problem after going from a Holley to a barry grant. WOT is at half. I get a ick out of the looks I get when I'm doing 70 and people see the throttle at only half
