Are the throttle shafts rotating to full open with the pedal?

Subject: [Healeys] Loss of Power at High Speeds
Well we finally got my 64 BJ8 going but the shop is going nuts trying to
figure out why it loses power at top speeds. We have newly rebuild carbs by
Jim Taylor, newly rebuilt dist by Advanced Dist, new wires by myself,
recently replaced fuel pump, new gas line from British car Specialists and
newly cleaned and sealed gas tank by Tank Renew. I made them put a fuel
filter right before the carbs but they did not put it until after they ran
it a while. They have supposedly cleaned the carbs out (I had Jim Taylor
put in the grose jets for the floats during the rebuild). Could be they
didn't do a good job cleaning the carbs here. They seem to think it is
starved for fuel at top end. Any ideas?
