Yep, it'll run while still being quite a bit off. But you'll probably find you're within spitting distance of the right setting, especially if you're used to how these engines sound.
i ended up using a universal throttle cable kit and the stock pedal, removed the electronic bit and fished the new one thru the firewall etc...
in repeated attempts to find time (being impatient) without the dial indicator, i sheared one of the bolts off in the hub.
is it alright to use bolts that are not stretch in their place?
im assuming that why the head sheared off so easily..
Yeah I've been running regular wide shouldered bolts for the past year. Did fine on a 600 km road trip today!
