Throttle direction

T.Scoggins · 11-30-2007, 08:06 PM

New to gas, have Saito 72 installed in MoJo. Attempting to set throttle servo, and having problem understanding if the throttle lever is forward at top end or idle. Can't see inside the carb to check. Is there an easy way to know. Seems like on all aircraft I have worked on the throttle would be forward for fast, back for idle.
Thanks

You can tell by the sound, just flip it over without glow starter. If not take a piece of small wire and feel inside the carb, work the throttle linkage and you will be able to tell if the butterfly is open or shut.
