Just had carb rebuilt after over a decade of use, ran great until last summer, the spray pattern had gummed up, but that's not the point...
The throttle linkage, where the cable fitting through bolts into the carb levers, has what I judge to be a non-original nut. It's just a nut with a star washer.
I can't imagine this is correct, since tightening down the existing nut/washer clamps down on the pivot - if that makes sense.
I look for online photos of carb linkage in general, and not much there since the nut in question is inboard of the throttle cable. Is a nylon locking nut
the way to go on this? There is no room for a jam nut set-up.
Thanks,
Grover.
Ok, update: I just saw this set-up on Jegs. Seems odd to me, although it's the same. Any thoughts? I don't like the set up, although, I can't say it ever caused a problem.
