[QUOTE="radman, post: 238223, member: 167"] If Smitty is having the same issue on 3 bikes, then I would have to say none of the above. For what it's worth, my eyelet has been set to rotate since day one, and never this or any other kind of problem-one just has to be sure the cable housing is positioned so as to allow full unrestricted cable operation to the full limit of the arc the throttle tang uses-for high speed ops this is a must. Moving the housing forward and checking the arc of the tang is important-I have mine set so that 100 mph on cruise is no problem. I also was thinking vacumn-too small a reservoir can cause a problem at high speed-low vacumn cruise, another thought is that the vacumn check valve has too much tension, so that lower vacumn is insufficient to open the valve and allow flow. This would not explain Smittys problem though, unless the problem bikes are all high altitude machines, or the valve he uses has a wide range of opening pressure variance. Frank has a 1 port access, with a Mazda fuel filter for a reservoir. This functioned well on flat land high speed runs,as well as medium altitude rides (Appalachians and the Sierras)). I have used a check valve from Napa that has a very light opening, the number isn't handy right now.
