I can't find a replacement. Any ideas where to get one? I can't even find a used one.

 

Your best bet is to get a used complete carb.

Or just make it immobile as the other thread proposed. You'll never know its missing.

I think that's what I did... or at least I hacked it off or something. Dunno I didn't pay much attention to unnecessary parts of my carb when I was messing with it.

My carb is simple. Fuel goes in bowls at 2.5#s fuel flows into venturies at the rate deemed by the jets. I don't have a high idle circuit (man I should hook one up) or altitude adjuster, or vacuum secondaries yada yada yada.

 

So I shouldn't have issues if I just make it permanently open? Where can I find a used carb? Everything I see is a few hundred. Seems like alot for one piece off of it

 

You'll need more pieces sooner or latter.

Permanently open doesn't seem to be an issue. Closed it definitely gives you hell. It MIGHT (I don't know for sure) have an effect on your carbon emissions.

 

I bought one at the local pull-apart a couple of years ago for $50. It became my fat nikki.

 

Fast idle linkage is good to have even though I use it about 1% of the time. It's nice to know that it's there.

 

I have A/C.... didn't think to hard when I chucked the linkage. Oh well.
