Hi, Mike here. Can someone post an overhead view of the throttle linkage from steering column to carb.

Thanks Mike

The carburetor linkage is pretty much the same for the black era T’s. It goes from the steering column through the center of the engine and to the carburetor. Over time the linkage rod can be bent out shape and drag on the valve cover opening and etc.
It may not even be the original. Things can get changed over time.
If you buy a new one from the vendors you may have to tweak it to fit.
When fitting the linkage rod have the gas lever all the way up and the carburetor lever in the closed position and go from there if you have to tweak the length of the linkage rod.

Depending on what arm on the carb throttle you have, there were two different lengths, tells you witch rod you get.

Got it. Thank you. So simple.


Mike
