messing around with carbs today they idle now and got o k response but could use some tips.
(a) need a picture of where the throttle cable attaches to linkage ( I have the long pin that goes through the pin with the hole through the lincage and then this 2 inch gap before the return spring attachment.) should there be something there cause after I have my girl hold the pedal to the metal and I hook up the cable it kinda is floppy .
(b) can t find oil screen bolt on pan its got a oil filter and Bentley shows 1974 type 4 has screen to clean??
)C) set my points to .017 today didn t have .016 guage is it O k
and (d) any tips on adjusting carbs (what are the 2 10 mm nuts on the left side of linkcage for I notice the bar moves slowly as I adjust and how should I start this procedure.
been reading but have just basic tools |

Check this thread out for info on your carbs

The oil screen cover is dead center in the bottom of the crankcase, should be very obvious.
The specs for the points is .016-.020" so your are right in the middle of the range. With new points I like to set them more towards .0180-.020" though. |

thanks that's a great add for carbs.
I checked the bottom and no bolt to take the cover off in the middle it has the to metal line looking things n it that go up the front side of the engine from there. I see where ir should be looks like a round 6 inch gasket could go but nothing to remove it like a bolt .
my engine is out of a 1974 and has a regular oil filter maybe or should there be both?? |

There is going to be a big round cover right in the center of the bottom of the crankcase with a single bolt in the center that holds it in place. This is a Type 3 case, but the location of the cover is the same. The Type 3 cover is held on by 6 small bolts around its edge, while the Type 4 cover is held on by one large bolt in its center.
