I have a 1915 with a turbo running a Holley carb in my 67 Beetle. I bought the CB performance cable to extend the cable and housing. The problem I have is that the travel of the accelerator pedal is not enough to open the Holley wide open.

Has anyone else encountered this or have a solution ?

You can either increase cable movement on your pedal (moving the cable attachment point further from the pivot) or make the attachment point at the carb closer to the pivot.

There are usually 3 holes on the Holley throttle lever. You can use one of the inner holes if your pedal doesn't have enough travel. You may have to source a different stud to mount in the smaller hole.
