MN let me know

did it to 3 carbs on first gens. just look at the angle needed to run a coathanger from the 2ndary arm insert (the little hole at the end of the arm) secure the coathanger to the 2ndaries then run it down to the primary arm and use individual creativity to attach. 3 diff cars 3 diff setups not hard to do just shoot for 2/3rds opening and be light on the throttle when you are pulling hard to avoid bog.

i posted a pix awhile back of the throttle plate from an old nikki to show how they're wired together but can't seem to find it.

hows it coming. like i said bit diff on each one have someone push the gas if you need both hands i used a ball of jb weld to hold the bar in place and be sure it wont block the primary's from opening all the way need a bend or 2 try soft wire to get the idea right like a piece of solder (which wont take the stress of opening so dont try) should speed things up. if it jams turn the key offand stomp the pedal till it comes back up
