I don't know what it is called, but the part is from a Solex carb that attaches off to the side of it.
Sorry don't know the model of Solex, maybe a 34 pict?
Hopefully a carb expert will chime in.

| Smog part. I think they started using those in 73 or 74. |

| It is a throttle positioner, added around '70 or so, for smog control. That arm held the throttle open even after you took your foot off the gas (exciting coming up to stoplights!). |

That one looks like the style used with the 30PICT-2, you can see such a one in this page from a 1968 Owner's manual:

Bingo! later models has a two-piece unit that did the same thing.
By now the diaphragm is probably bad, and they were a PITA even when new. You might place an ad in the classified; maybe someone really wants a vintage engine look? |

| It was used to slow the closing of the butterfly so all the gas would be burned. Set up right you can't tell the difference. |
