Found this photo on the web, shows the upper Y-piece, of an older design part, that bolts to the cylinder head. Throttle rod attaches to the lever part and the lower end fits to the NH carb.

This is the newest style design, seems a bit easier in attachment and operation, but haven't any experience with these pieces.

I recently installed it as part of the whole vaporizer to NH conversion kit that Langs offers.

Attached are pics of the upper and lower ends.

The upper is pretty straight forward. The lower is not. The tabs shown in the Langs picture did not come bent down and it took me a while to figure that out. Also since they did not provide a way to attach it to the carb, I found a small very flat headed bolt as shown. You also have to grind a little off of the area around the vertical post so it does not rub on the carb.

It works fine.

Regards,
Hurst

You may or may not need the rod. The one they provided with the "kit" did not fit so I bent and reused the one I had on the vaporizer carb.
