Brief Description:  Add throttle stop to throttle quadrant

My Aerocarb, as the instructions suggested, needed to have the wide open throttle setting limited by about 3/16" of travel. The engine would balk and run rough until you closed the throttle a bit. The instructions say that you need to shorten the cable, but that's wrong, you actually need to lengthen the cable so it doesn't open all the way. I figured that's a pretty hit or miss prospect, plus I didn't have any extra cable to play with, so I drilled and tapped a throttle stop set screw into the throttle quadrant. This allows more precise control....dunno why it doesn't come so equipped, but it took no time to fabricate.

I finished tuning the carb, so the engine is pretty much done. Time for the bird to move out of the basement and up into the garage. The additional room will allow me to install the tail, which was rigged and deinstalled last year.
