Can anyone help me find a place to buy the accelerator linkage for a Pic-34 to use with an alternator? I don’t want to bend the linkage or grind the alternator. The VW shop manual says to replace and reverse the linkage.

Thanks

All I had to do with mine was swap the bolt that holds the linkage together to a button head allen screw.

Luck! Not on this one, I'd have to grind down 1/4-3/8 just to get the link to clear.

that the later styles carbs have delt with this problem, all except for Bocar / Brosal

Mine is a Bocar. I just looked at mine, and the Alt case is clearanced a little bit. I dont know if the previous owner did that, or if they come that way. I have a very slight interference between the button head and the Alt case at full throttle. It has never stuck on me though.

There is a picture in vw workshop bulletin "Modifications to fuel system" showing that the Bell Crank Lever can be replaced, relocating it from the front of the carb to the back.
