Re: Markeb01 Build Thread

Thanks for the comments James and Clem!

Yes my gas pedal hangs free above the floor, and touches the floor at WOT. It’s reasonably easy to adjust the travel. If the carb won’t reach wide open throttle, add a spacer under the pivot mount of the gas pedal and this will increase the travel at the pedal. If you have tons of padding on the floor under the gas pedal pivot and the carb reaches WOT before the pedal hits the floor, cut away some of the padding under the pivot and this will reduce the travel at the pedal. Just keep making small adjustments until you’re happy with the travel on both sides of the firewall.
