12a OPM Throttle Linkage
Hi, all. I have an '82 Gsl w/ a 12a and after modding the carb (mech. seconds.) recently I noticed I had left the rod/shaft that attaches the throttle linkage to the oil metering pump disconnected. I drove a few miles like that, reving to redline a few times I'm sure. What does this linkage rod do? Does it just meter out more oil for larger throttle inputs? Will there still have been enough oil pumped to the carb for my short speed blasts at WOT? I couldn't find much in the FSM's or with search. Thanks.

Thanks, that takes a load off my mind. Yes I did reconnect it but I think I'm just going to remove the OMP and run pre-mix. I think I'd rather simplify my engine and complicate my fuel stops but have a quantum of "peace of mind" at least.
