Hi,<br /><br /> I am trying to restore the linkage back to original configuration. The prior owner changed it from pull to push. The problem is that I seem to be missing one link. The manuals I have do not show the complete assemply so I can not tell exactly what is missing. Is there some place to get this? Basically the change previously made was to connect the throatle cable directly to the main throatle arm on the carb. The factory method, as best that I can tell, is to connect to a pin on a arm that connects somehow back to the main throatle arm on the carb, which makes it a push rather than a pull. <br /><br />If someone could send me pictures of one that would be great. Or even where I can get the missing parts. Or any suggestions...

Thanks Don, that was a big help. It appears the linkage that is missing is #18. Also there looks to be extra stuff added for the modification. hopefully I can get that part. Thanks again.

Still missing how the connection goes from cable connector to the carb. The breakdown in Don's link shows the throatle cable pivot, but from there to Carb looks to be a link, but not sure where it connects. My Rochestor 2V closesly matches but has a larger connector arm for the throatle connector that in the parts break down. Does anyone know of another pictorial that shows the cable connection to the Carb.<br />Thanks.

Don S, went through all pictures and did not find one that had the same actuator arm on the Carberator that matches mine. The rest of it is identical. Got any other suggestions? <br />Thanks
