It's supposed to be adjusted to just before WOT is what I was told recently when I asked the same thing. I did give my pedal a bit more throw and did see a performance improvement.

The bolt is there to so you don't damage/bend anything when your smashing down on the pedal trying to impress the ladies.
I removed mine and bent my pedal down alittle to make more room. Its a lot more comfortable driving long distance now.

Touche pas!

The blue pill, the brown acid, that bolt under your gas pedal and the tag on your mattress...




Things we don't touch.


Capisch?

you want the pedal to have a stop before the linkage at the carb stops. That way you do not wear out the carb linkage or stress the butterfly.

You would adjust that bolt so that you get maximum movement at the carb. Then raise the bolt so that the force is taken into the floor not the carb...

make sense?
