thr. linkage for 8ight 2.0

Has anyone who has the 8ight 2.0 had issues with the throttle linkage rubbing the inside of the lid? When the carb is around 80% open, the linkage rod hits the lid and noticeably pushes it up and scratches the paint.
If anyone has this issue, how did you go about fixing it?

Sounds lie you need to reposition the carb and/or carb ball link. If that does not work, bust out the dremel or an exacto knife.

Thanks Scrogg. I figured it out, the throttle end of the servo horn has to be angled in more than I thought. I just had to force it a little bit then adjust the brake linkages to take the tension off the servo.
It was kind of a pain in the _____ (remember mad libs anyone?), sweet-hearting it wasn't working.
