5.5 honda gx 160 linkage ideas?

[pasadenaboneshaker]

I bought a 5.5 honda ohv motor with a mickey mouse linkage. No really. Any ideas on how to make it operate ssssmmmmmooooothly? Is there a bolt on kit already made, some where, any where? :mad2:

Someone on here has the throttle setup pictures. Maybe it was Yellowhand?

I know Joe's can hook it up for you very easy.

linkage

hardware stores have stainless steel nuts, bolts and washers that are just a little bigger than carb linkage - they work nicely with "crimp on" type electrical connectors -- ream out the holes on the carb where the linkage goes through just big enough to fit the tiny screw - wouldn't recommend using a drill - twist the drill bit with your fingers, if it gets stuck use some pliers - put the screw through the hole - crimp an eyelet on to the end of the cable put it over the screw - add washer - put one nut on just enough so linkage moves smoothly (do not tighten or it wont work!!) - use a second nut to lock the first nut in place - no need for loc-tite - sometimes i use an in-line return spring if theres nowhere to mount a spring to on the engine ----- i added a couple pics - maybe they'll help
