Now what.....carburetor linkage?
The carburetor throttle linkage was installed on what would be considered the drivers side(left). For a front engine car this is normal. But on a rear engine single seat formula car, it needs to be on the right side(passenger). So, another phone call to the engineer, at first, the idea was to send the whole unit back(another 2 week delay). Then after a lengthy conversation, the plan was to unbolt the carbs, lift them up as a unit and rotate them 180 degrees and set them back down on the manifold. This should place the linkage on the right side with it pulling in the right direction(forward). This shouldn't disturb the factor settings. Bingo, it worked. It's about time something worked correctly
