alright sounds easy enough to wire that factory switch up, I'm guessing it gets its gound from the gas pedal?

Thanks for the tips VZ. I new the carb switch was adjustable, and assumed the pedal switch would be too, but to dang lazy to check it out. I will do that someday, and get it to about 3/4 throttle.

Hopefully these pics help some. I wasn't able to get under it see it, so I just pointed the cam and what it got, is was it got. Its the white switch mounted to the gas pedal braket.
