Throttle Linkage Adjustment

The 356 connects your right foot to the carburetors through a chain of solid rods and bell cranks. When it is right, the pedal opens both carburetors fully and the engine drops cleanly to idle when you lift off. When it is wrong you get a screaming idle, a pedal that only reaches part throttle, or a sticky return. Almost all of it comes down to a worn joint or a part set up in the wrong position, all of which can be corrected by a careful owner.
