Ya, if it's not hooked up, she no work!

Wait for motor to be absolute cold. Open throttle fully(to get linkage out of the way), turn black housing just til the plate closes fully, might take couple tries to get it just right. Don't over turn it, as it will take too long to open. It needs to just start opening after motor starts. You can fine tune it after you try it a few times. There are little marks on the housing, move it one at a time to fine tune.
