New carb issues

Hey sorry for being out of pocket I have had to work 12 hr days, I haven't had a chance to look at anything but I will hopefully tomorrow night.
I do have a Lokar system in the car, I have a drop air cleaner but I checked all that and everything seems to be clear with no binding.
I was wondering if the torque of the engine might stretch the cable to make it stick.
If it is an over center condition how can I correct it?
I do have another question can you reuse a fan that has one blade was bent and twisted into the radiator? I was running a factory 7 blade fan when one of the blades bent up into the radiator. I am not sure I want to run it again but thought I would ask before I go looking for another fan.
