Carburettor linkage length
Hi Alastair,
As per attached photo: The arm in question has to be fairly long to clear the HT lead conduit. Any shorter and it would foul it.
Travel of the throttle plate arm can be limited to prevent bending anything by a bolt that screws into the back of the accelerator pedal (this bolt I usually find missing but you can see the tapped hole for it on the backside of any pedal at the top).
It is listed in the parts manual as part No. 20368-S7, Bolt- Accelerator stop, 3/8-16 x 7/8" (3/8 UNC 7/8" long) There is also a nut listed for it as 33927-S2, Nut- Accelerator pedal stop bolt. Surprisingly it is then shown to be 7/16-20 Hex check. Don't think a 7/16" nut will work very well on a 3/8" bolt although I believe I have seen attempts of similar things at times!
Hope this is of some help.
