Hello for all of you out there who haven't just gone bigger with the engine in your bike I have good news! Today I noticed that the throttle linkage on my bug does not fully open the butterfly valve on the carb when fully engaged. so in order to fix this and run the carb completely wide open all you need is a pair of needle nose pliers and a paperclip.
step 1: remove spring running between the piece the cable pulls and the long arm that goes up to the carb using needle nose pliers.
step 2: unfold and size up your paperclip so it will fit properly where the spring once was and then cut the paperclip ( be sure to leave about a 1/2 inch of the clip sticking out once put through the designated holes)
step 3: make sure the clip is as straight as possible to ensure maximum power.
step 4: bend the 1/2 inch sticking out the other side of the hole so the metal is sandwiched between the paperclip (this will ensure the paper clip will not come off)
Step 5: have fun going 40+ mph!!!
