Hi Larry,
Mine pulls from the top, can you flip the throttle lever? I remember
now, the throttle is pulled from the manifold, what manifold are you
running? I'm using a Cannon. Maybe you can make a arm to hold the
cable. I also drilled and threaded the cross over tube for my PCV
valve. Works great once I went to the right port to pull a vaccuum on
the crankcase, I was using the valve cover for vaccuum. I changed it to
the timming cover and it hasn't leaked a bit since.
The choke is another matter. It will require a right side lever to use
the original knob, mine was backwards. They are available from Pierce.
I had to use two springs on the other side of the throttle linkage to
keep the idle good. I will have her over in SF Sat for a club meet, if
you want to see her.
The jets were wrong too. I ended up with one sizes larger than stock.
Mine has the MD286 Kent cam, this is what gives it such a lobe in Idle.
