Rochester carb help possible bad linkage

I’ve cut one off before.
Hacksaw won’t work. It’s hardened metal.
I used a 1/8 inch thick cut off disc on my angle grinder.
You need to hold the arm tight though. The cut off wheel will try to move it.

Ok Guys!

Thanks to all of you who went out of your way to post pics and offer advice.

I owe a lot of success on my classic projects to the great guys on these forums and the wealth of knowledge found within them.

After I cut off that knob and relocated the spring everything worked perfectly. I have to get a more permanent mount for the return spring tomorrow before I test drive it, but after it idled a bit and warmed up it now works properly with all 4 barrel open when the peddle is push down as it should.

I cant wait to get this little monster on the road tomorrow now that it is properly woken up.

I posted a pic here of how she looks.
After 5 years on the bodywork I've been working hard now to get her running top notch...did all the welds and paint myself.

thanks again

There goes your gas mileage!
What do you run for timing in that blue beast?
