A business called Vintage speed does Holley parts. Charlie Price is the man. He will have the bit you want to operate with a cable, or a rod (ball end)
Good to deal with. He lists on ebay, but you are better to go direct to his web site.

Nice site, Lynn: thanks for that.

Peter,

The exact part you need is even pictured on the reproduction 94 carbie on Vintage Speed's website, so he must have them reproduced and hopefully have them available.

Mike

Mike, the one thing I couldn't find is the ball ended throttle lever.
There is a modern needle and seat, which should help things, along with a .005" o/s. throttle spindle.

Default Back to the books

Mike and Lynn.

Thanks for the great sources for parts. I should of done my homework before asking for help.
I went through my manuals and finally found a picture that shows the choke linkage. I couldn't find the choke linkage that I posted for the simple reason it wasn't used on my original carburetor. The picture in my workshop manual shows the manual choke cable attached to the other side of the carburetor.
Unfortunately the shaft for the choke plate doesn't exit from that side on my current carburetor.
Will have to do a bit of a rethink on how to get my setup to work properly.

Thanks, Peter

Peter, if you can get the longer choke spindle, the lever shouldn't be too hard to sort. I think charlie has a lever of sorts.
If I recall the choke flap is closed by a small spring around the shaft and opened by the cable

Default Where does our time go ???

Guys,

Finally found some time to work on the Lynx. Got the front fenders back from sandblasting and epoxy priming. Mounted them and the last two rebuilt shock absorbers. Mounted for what I hope is the last time. (Rick, you're right I am now quite versed on removing and installing the toe plate)
Couldn't resist, and dry mounted some of the hardware that I've acquired/rebuilt to see what it looks like. Starting to look respectable.
I also included a picture of my shop supervisor, we're experiencing a thunderstorm so I've now got a partner.

Peter
