Carb Throttle Rod -- Help!
I removed an accessory waterpump off my 1922 Touring and ordered a new water inlet. The only problem is that the carburetor throttle rod sits too high on the steering column, and I have no clearance to mount the new inlet. Could one of you wise people advise me how to adjust this?

Re: Carb Throttle Rod -- Help!
The throttle arm or lever should swing under the steering column. Perhaps the position was changed at some point. There is a predrilled hole on the carb rod so there is no adjustment unless you drill another hole. You can always bend the rod to make it fit. I am thinking either the lever was reversed or the rod bent to accomodate the waterpump.

Re: Carb Throttle Rod -- Help!
Thank you! Rod was reversed. I should have looked for that first.
