Connecting the Throttle Linkage
DO NOT RELY ON THE BASEPLATE LINKAGE AS A STOP! FAILURE TO USE A POSITIVE
PEDAL STOP CAN RESULT IN LINKAGE DAMAGE THAT CAUSES THE THROTTLE TO STICK
IN THE WIDE OPEN POSITION.
With the pedal held firmly against a stop, pull the carburetor to its wide open position (Fig. 8). Adjust
the linkage rod or cable to the proper length, and then attach it to the baseplate linkage. Remember,
the pedal should come against a positive stop, just as the carburetor gets to wide open throttle. With
the linkage rod attached to the baseplate, make sure the carburetor can return to its closed position.
Install your return spring(s), and check again for smooth operation to wide open throttle, and then
closed again.

Connecting the Fuel Lines
Always use lines and fittings that are built for automotive use, and compatible with your type of fuel.
Stainless steel braided, or push-lock type reinforced hose with AN swivel connections are
recommended on all fuel lines. Do not use thread lockers, sealing compounds, or Teflon tape on
AN flare fittings. When installing fuel bowl inlet fittings, use only the sealing washers or o-rings
provided with the fitting.
In most cases, a drop of oil to prevent thread galling
is all that’s necessary when installing pipe
threaded fittings. However, if a thread sealant is used on pipe fittings, use extreme caution to prevent
any tape or compound from entering the internal flow area. Remember to check for leaks when the
system is under pressure. If a leak is detected, replace the malfunctioning part. When installing new
fuel lines, be sure to flush the lines clear of any debris that might remain from the hose cutting or
assembly process.
