The throttle opening and throttle valve opening of the FCR carburetor are not directly proportional....
Even when the throttle is opened to 1/2 on an FCR, the throttle valve on the FCR does not open to 1/2. This is not specifically mentioned in the FCR tuning manual. Knowing this might change your perspective on the operation of the FCR throttle. At 1/2 throttle opening, the throttle valve is typically open only about 1/4.
