the 32/36's are not the same as the carter/webers but using a bell crank and running in parallel as you did would definitely help. the issue wasn't the amount of travel but the angle at which it pushed. at 110 degrees rotation, optimal would be 55 before and after but even that meant excessive force to get over the hump and again for wot. in series, 35 degrees at idle "worked" but left 75 for wot so full throttle never happened. in parallel, 55 was easier but still had issues. 45 was what I settled on and used 'most' of my carbs. linkage binding was less of an issue too. of the old carbs I had laying around, several where 78 degrees and one was 60, not sure what the true webers are but much less than the carters. bought the 32/36's and all those problems went away. 38/38's already on there way here.
