Hi Al,

I though about it, but because of the brain f**t, I was thinking I
needed to push the throttle in to get less.  Which was why it was WOT
in the first place.  I still can't conceive of any reason why I was
thinking that.  I know it started earlier when I connected the throttle
cable.  I pushed it forward to make sure it was closed against the stop
before tightening it down.  But the way it's set up, pushing the cable
forward makes sure it's open against the stop!  If I hadn't already
installed the air filter, I would have noticed that I had it wrong.

I remember hearing that the EC2 could be powered thru the injectors.
I'll have to check that.  Thanks.

Bob W.
