[QUOTE="BuilderBob, post: 241021, member: 5052"] OK. Now that I have had a chance to test mine for a reasonable amount of time, at freeway speeds (75-80), I have also experienced the dreaded unexpected shut-down. I have a theory: Mine only happens under unusual load; strong headwind, steep grade, etc. If you consider the tab that most of us connect the servo cable to, you realize that when it is pulled straight up, it is still quite a way from being at full throttle. Those of us who have installed the eyelet so that it rotates on the screw through the tab are only allowing the throttle to be opened part way, even when the servo has pulled the tab to it's most vertical position. The tab must be able to be pulled past that position in order to maintain highway speeds under an unusual load. When the servo has pulled the throttle open as far as it can (vertical) and still cannot maintain speed, it shuts down. I'm going to tear mine down again and determine if there is another way to connect the servo cable to the throttle linkage other than connecting to the "tab". There has got to be away to get more rotation of the throttle linkage. [/QUOTE]
