Furthermore after getting everything off I could... the stock TB
still weighed three pounds!

Yea, heavy bugger. Is this just for your test stand? You are still using
the slide throttle on the plane?

BTW I arranged the linkage so the single and the dual butterflies
open at the same time.

The other thing I did was reverse the springs, so they force the
throttle wide open instead of closed. It's not as simple as it sounds.
But if this is just a ground test engine I wouldn't bother.
