Default Re: What Throttle Stop to use?

It always had a lag getting up to stall rpm (5800 on chip). This would result in inconsistent reaction times. The Quickfuel is not as flat on the stop as the APD. I have to play with either carb closing speed to prevent a "droop" when it goes on the stop.
Usually, a "droop" when it first goes on the stop is caused by either the float levels set to high, or the throttle stop closing speed is to fast. You do not want the throttle stop to slam closed. Slow the closing rate down, and I'll bet your droop goes away.
