Lots of questions #1 Throttle

if you look at the attached, you will see the pieces that make up my throttle mechanism at the Carb.

https://tinyurl.com/6kgsa8

"C" is what attaches to the carb itself - the bottom of that bracket is broken.

"A" attaches to "B". If you zoom the photo you can just see a ball fitting. There is a press on fitting that "A" actually bolts to.

"D" is the remains of that press on fitting.

Here are my questions

#1. Can I replace "D" and "C" and therefore fix the mechanism?

if no

#2. Does someone else have another throttle mechanism they want to sell? Mine seems overly complicated, perhaps because of the pollution or the water choke - neither of which are attached any longer.

or

#3. Is this the sort of thing I could find at NAPA?

thanks all

JP,

What is your time line for this? If you have a little time, I can attempt to reassemble a working linkage set up from my junk pile and send it to you complete with junk carb. It won't look like what you have now, but you should be able to transfer the set up from my junk carb to your working carb. I imagine this will take me 1-2 weeks to set up for you... and I can't guarantee success.

Time line is Missouri - or sooner. Let's see what others have to say though you are certainly the best offer so far - thanks!
