30 mm slides won't open fully?

[j28d]

Ok, I bought some 30mm carbs from cpw with a thumb throttle cable. The slides won't go all the way up unless I have the cable on top of the adjusters and the adjusters all the way out. I called them and they said that this was normal? I switched to these from a 35pwk single and I seem to remember the slide went all the way up on the pwk. Cpw then told me that there wasn't enough room to pull the slides all the way in, and a 35 pwk has more room. Having been able to pull the slides up, I thought this was b.s. Anyways, should I put washers or some kind of spacer in the adjusters, or just let the slides block the bore about 1/2 in. on the big side? Thanks for any help or advice.

you might need a new cable for the 30s with less cable to pull them up more.

 

thats problably what they were trying to say but i could be wrong

That's what I thought-the cable should be shorter after the split, but when I called cpw, they said it was the right cable and that the slides are supposed to stick out a little. I was under the impression that they should be totally out of the way at wot. I don't have a set of stockers to look at laying around, but I think they pull all the way up also. I guess I'll try calling keihin tomorrow and asking them. I hate it when brand new stuff is f'ed up before it's even installed. Thanks for the reply.
