So, taking advantage of this great day, I worked a bit on BlueBelle. Got her idling now and moving up and down the driveway... Found a short and fixed in the fuel pump wire to the coil, no wonder I got no gas. Also, take a peak at this:
I've got dual webers, with the linkage in the center. There are two linkages that look like mini-tie rods connecting to the throttles on each of the carbs.
Heres a picture of the one from the right pass side that fell off
Here's the center linkage. Right above the bottom left of the spring is the "joint" where the rod fell off - looks like a mini door knob. I'd point it out, but Jack doesn't like my finger getting in the way of my pictures. :) Ignore the blue wire and the spark plug wire off the plug.
Just to get her idling, I connected with a zip tie to keep it on. Looks like some sort of clip is missing - You can see an example of the clip in the first picture, right below the linkage...
Any ideas what can I use to replace these things, or does somebody make a replacement? I keep thinking some length of threaded rod, but I cant figure out how to connect.
