Carb linkage

Has anyone got a picture of the carburator linkage . I need to see from the carb to the accelerator rod so I can begin to connect things. I am sure I am missing some parts yet--such as from the carb to the foot feed rod. I see a pin on the carb with nothing on it so I guess something should be connected there. A pic would be worth a thousand words --lol thanks

Re: Carb linkage

Hi Ken I'll send you two pics I have of that side of Frank's 30 614 motor and you can magnify them up for better look to see. You should have a Stromburg U2 updraft on the car but some have Tillotson W-8A's.

Don't know what the difference is but 1931 619 has J5A, my 32 614 has J4A ,and the 33 633 has J6A Gord's Frontenac as the W-8A

The W-8A became the replacement for all 30 - 33 D and F's.

Let me know if these pics help. Sounds like you have the pin the throttle cable and foot linkage attach to and its missing that Y shaped piece.

Think we should get both cars together and restore them both at the same time

Re: Carb linkage

Hi Ken.....

If the pictures Norm has don't show what you need, or you need more info just ask.

The 614 is still where I can easily get some pictures, if I want to brave the snow!

Sounds like you need to make a Hookstown road trip. I had 4 Durantonians here last week end from Texas, Arkansas, Illinois, and Ohio. The more the merrier!
