What size carbs do you have. I could get my 35's to open up with out any problems. But my 39's they requiers some moding to the thumb throttle. The carbs in the pic need to be open more.

 

 

35's

Put the stock adjusters back in and try it. Never had a single problem with any of the keihin's I've ever had not getting enough adjustment. I've had 33's, 3 sets of 35's, 38's and 39's. All of them adjust closed to fully open with the stock adjusters. Ditch the FAST stuff and go back to stock. You don't need to buy any kind of special spring for the carbs either. Just take a pair of cutters and remove the first 2 turns from the spring. Makes it plenty easy to pull.

 

Edit: Is your throttle cable new? If its an older cable you could have some stretch issues. Keep in mind that some places actually sell longer cables for bigger carbs like the 41's and 42's etc. You might have a longer cable which isn't letting you get the full range of motion out of the slides.

 

Throttle cable is new. I couldnt get near wher its at with the stock adjusters. I screwed with it yesterday and got it better.When I have it pegged I cant push up on the slides anymore. Any one have pics of WFO 35's?

got it fixed.It was the fricken springs. Put the stockers in like BIGRED said and bamm,Wide open. I cant believe I rode all Thanksgiving week 3/4 throttle.

 

HA HA! Seems like that happens to everyone that puts on aftermarket carbs. Make sure those slides clear the throat of the carb at WOT.
