Accelerator Linkage saga continues...

Hooking up the mechanical linkage to the small holley carby that was attached, it became apparent that Damian could actually use the existing carby, and not have to find a 43mm air cleaner, which it would seem is rarer than a unicorn pooping skittles!!

Step one - grab the original part from the carby (that had been removed to fit the cable system last year), and remove some unneeded bits...

Yeah, but... something needs to stop the carby when it returns... Idle adjustment ding dang...

Angle grinding and breaking stuff...

These bits are in the way... time to remove them...

Alright!!  One idle adjustment stopper ding dang...

Hook the linkage up to the end of the newly created part...

Hmmm...  seems awfully close...

Speaking of awfully close...  Cisco decided to wander into the shed to see what Damian was up to!!

The problem with the short linkage connector was that the accelerator pedal only had about a cm of movement to go from fully closed to fully open... the solution?  Make the end further away!!

Plenty of clearance this way!!

Of course, making the end further away had the unintended consequence of requiring a shorter linkage, so that was the end of the progress...

Back at the auto store, Damian discovered that they didn't have the required linkage in stock, and would have to order one in...  Of course!!

Stay tuned... surely this will have a happy ending sometime!!
