Hello Merlininium<br />You have a 1969 25hp. evinrude.<br />The disconected rod turns your low speed needle valve via a plastic bell crank. To adjust your needle valve. Screw it in all the way, until lightly seated. Then back it out 11/2 turns. Start the engine,warm it up. With throtle fully closed, turn needle out until engine slows. Then turn needle in until engine starts to miss(sneeze). Then reconect your linkage rod so as the knob makes sence. Turn needle slow and allow a few sec. for engine to clear between settings. This should be done with engine in gear in a tank. Or tied to dock.
