Quote: Like JohnRR said, it looks like I need to lengthen the flat bar with the slot as well.
Nice work , almost there.
the back of that slot needs to be against that post with the arm and linkage from the trans pulled all the way forward , that's what the spring that you don't have installed yet does .
Thanks for the kind words guys. I would feel a little better about it if it hadn't had taken me 3 hours to do it!!!
I have another problem/question. The lever arm on the transmission requires 1 3/4" of travel at the slotted bar to move it from it full forward position to the full rearward position but the carb only has 1 1/8" of throw.
Do you start by pushing the arm all the way forward or just letting it go back to its "home". When I measured the distance needed to move the lever from its "home" to the full reward position it's 1 1/8" (same as the carb).
Here is the lever after it's pushed all the way forward.
