Hi All-
A bit of an absurd/arcane question here, but I'm wondering if anyone happens to know the twist rate of a typical late 70's airhead throttle. If a specific model is wanted/needed, let's use an R80/7 as our example.
I ask, because I am working on an R50/2 conversion (using an R75/6 engine) and will most likely be using an aftermarket throttle assembly (for a wide variety of reasons I won't bore you with here), and want to compare aftermarket options against the traditional rate. I have always generally liked the throttle rate on old airheads, but want something maybe just a little bit quicker for this conversion, and so need the traditional baseline as a comparison.
Thanks in advance!
