Houston, we have…
AN IDLE 1200rpm and stable.
After many scratching of the head, we finally found what was the prob with my 69 T250… You bet it was stooopid (I told ya!)
It has 72 "R" jugs and the carbs, carbs are a bit bigger (26 instead of 24, if i remember well). The friggin cables we a bit short or so it seems. The bottoming sound I heard was the slides hitting the throttle stop... not the bottom.
I had to fab new end cables, nice and easy, gave them 7mm extra travel which is a bit too much but works... maybe there was a prob at the cable distributor, cables that popped out I don't know. I also had bent thzrottle stop rods, certainly didn't help... BUT IT WORKS NOW!
Thanks for all the help, I just need a seat cover and it's over. I still have dreams of putting rear sets and a race seat à la Fang on it, though
