Anyone have a picture of the proper way to attach the throttle and choke linkages with the three springs?
I'm putting mine back together and struggling with linking the throttles and chokes.

Thanks.

LOL, those are nasty carbs Chris. Please tell me that's the before shot.
 
That is the "during stripping the car for parts" shot.
 
Thanks, Chris. You're obviously smarter than I am for taking a pic before tearing it down!
 
I find this picture interestng, my 65 only had 2 springs both connected to the rear positions and none to the fuel linkage. The catalogs only mentions 2 which I have hooked up in the same manner in my rebuild. What function does the middle spring serve? I have plenty of tension with two.

I was wondering the same thing last night when I was putting the carbs and heatshield/manifold together. Mine had three springs, but two new ones have plenty of tension. Maybe a safety factor?
 
The center spring is to provide tension on the gas pedal, overcome possible resistance.
 
Or possible cable failure. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif
 
Or even pedal return!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
