it might be the vacuum of the engine sucking the throttle plate to the rear plate

I agree, seems like a vacuum problem to me as well. I think that's why throttle plates are butterflies. That way vacuum pressure balances out and helps keep engagement smooth. Maybe supporting the plates on a bearing surface on the back side would help, but I think that basically the throttle plate is getting sucked closed.

You running a ton of premix in that thing or what, because that initial start-up was crazy smoky with all that blueish white smoke 😬 Edit: ok good, resolved, but....why do you have a limiter set at 4k RPM for break-in?.... especially if you're going to keep banging against it...it would be more gentle for the engine to rev to 7k by itself on the off chance than to repeatedly bang against an ignition cut at 4k over and over, don't you think? The way he was driving it, it didn't seem like he was one to go abusing his freshly built motor anyway

Perhaps two throttle cable cams on a common shaft or some such arrangement will allow you to customise the opening rate and effort. Also, if you extend the pivot/anchor fornthe throttle position sensor further away from the back plate to create a triangle, then you can get WOT without the sensor limiting the travel of the throttle slide. You should be able to calculate the distance so you get 0-100% on the sensor and throttle simultaneously. Good old Pythagoras.

Just an idea for the slide throttle. Starting with a new slide plate. Mark a smaller hole that is fully exposed at full throttle. Mark a center dividing line through the circle perpendicular to slide travel. Only use the full throttle open half of the circle. Draw a tringle from first opening point of the original big hole to the corners of your half circle. You could round the starting point of the triangle. The goal is to get a more gradual throttle opening with a smaller max CFM.

the ultimate street swap would be a drive by wire throttle set up, I remember I had the same issue when I ran twin weber 45s on my old Peugeot few years back, I messed about with the springs on the linkage with not much success because it would produce overrun issues where they wouldn't close properly. I ended up actually changing the pivot point on Pedal in the cabin, the extra bit of leverage just changed it completely. I also ran a sausage filter by ITG and I remember it said you have to OIL it before use (I never did lol) but I have no idea why they ask for this?!

Howdy RAD, So I just came from your old video regarding the vacuum advance on the older engine. My 12a has been having an issue where at idle I can almost make it to full throttle before the engine starts to sputter and stumble really bad. If I do push to full throttle, power completely cuts until I let off the pedal. While driving I can get to about 20% throttle before the problem starts. It's a Holley 600 on a ported RB intake and I believe a mildly ported 12a. Do you have any ideas? I had thought maybe the vacuum advance was hooked up wrong but I guess it's not.
