Title: carby linkages on red motors
Post by: Phantom on May 06, 2006, 02:51:35 AM
           G'day all, was wondering if any one can send me or post pics of their carby linkage set ups on red motors running twin carbs (my linkages are a bit of a mess and need tidying and tightening up)
                            Cheers Rusty

The setup in Shane's post are pieces of rod and "W Clips". You can go to bursons/autobarn places like that and they can order W clips in for you, or you could just buy a brand new linkage kit to suit your application . ;) ;)

I thought as much... but as you can see, my car and my carbs are not yet as one!

Here's one from the Nats that I got, I have a few others but mainly greys. Probably the best shot is fehotrod's FE. I had to lighten the shot so some detail is lost.

there is a grey motor setup, but this is the messy way, and you wouldnt run a setup like this on an x2 manifold as you dont have a divorce setup...

G'day Rusty
I went in and took a few pics of the X2 carb set up on my FC, they are a little dark but might show you what you want. The various holes in the throttle linkage allow you to usr different length rods to alter pedal travel and lightness
Cheers
Jockster
