Throttles not even
 
Anyone know how to adjust the throttles so they are even? They are Gaffrig/Livorsi. Its not that big of a deal just pretty annoying. Is there a adjustment on the cables or on the throttles themselves?

Yes, you can adjust at the helm as well as at the engines. No two engines are exactly the same. Same holds for the cables, linkage etc. You just need to play with it till you get it as close as you can. Does take some F'n around, but you can get them real close if you spend the time.

Got mine real close. Like you said so many variables. Mine are so close that I can match rpms just by slight movement sof the needed throttle by small squeezing rotation of my hand on top of the throttles. My rpms have to be adjusted side to side after tight turns too.

Ok. I will work on the adjustment. Thanks.

525 efi help
 
can you adjust the linkage on 525efi's the same way to get the sticks even. i have one that idles at 950 rpm's and the other one at 700 rpm's. the difference in rpm's carries threw out the total rpm range till i run at wot then there the same. cruising with one stick further than the other is bothersome. does this have something to do with the TPS or just a mechanical adjustment?
