All--- this is why I keep my post to a minimum--- will do my best not to make any more, but I have a hard time keeping quiet when it is a saftey issue.
Let's not "spin" this around---- the orginal question was about-- "Full throlle at linkage breakeage." Not everyone is flying with a Rotax 912, which I believe uses the Bing Carbs, with their use of assistance springs. What Jon C. did by his own admission was to modify these springs which lead to the fact he couldn't acquire full rpm for a successful go around. I will not "paste and drag" his account to this page as I don't believe it is fair to Jon to do that. (Jon took the time to post a very informative narration and pictures in the hopes that others wouldn't make the same mistake he did------ thank you, Jon)
Also, as far as appling brakes at engine start, I realize that is the proper thing to do. But, after following this site for some time, it is very apparent that there are some Zenith/ Zenair aircraft out there with less than appropriate braking power.---Fritz

He had removed the heavy spring Rotax or Bing install on the carbs and
replaced it with a weaker spring.
Just ask him what he thinks:

Hello Fritz,
The spring to full power is very important.
In fact here, our Instructor and most Experienced Bush Pilot (no AF-1 of course 
Flys a C 180 to the mountains to do mission flights, He has "the spring" in his carburator. and sure is not a Rotax powered Cessna.
By the way he is my Instructor and was the test pilot for our 701. He loved the plane,
Saludos
