OK, I'm stuck.

I installed my "turn-key" Okrasa yesterday, and when I installed the linkage, I found that the linkage would not reach both carbs. I extended the linkage as far as possible, but I cannot quite reach.

Any ideas?

Can I adjust the carb somehow to make it reach the linkage?

HELP!

Yeah, mine too. About 25 inches fully extended.

So, do I need to change this piece on my carb?

the triangle bit should be welded onto the fan shroud.

Yeah, thats fine.

If I measure the rods that go into the carbs, at the longest point, they are 25 inches. I'd guess the spread on my Okrasa is 25 3/4.

Find a longer long nut? or get another one and put a thread down it?

Just a thought.

Do I have the same linkage well mines Mr Wobs?
