7. LINKAGE

Function

To control synchronization while opening the throttle and transmission shifting.

Problems

If the linkage is not properly adjusted:

1. The carburetors will not be synchronized.

2. Shift pattern problems (too early or too late) may be experienced.

Adjustment

1. Long Rod Adjust the long center connecting rod to fit tension free and install. (It must be tension free so as not to change synchronization.) (See Fig. 1,1A)

2. Short Rod with Free Travel With the free travel fully extended the rod should fit neutral from ball joint to ball joint. (See Fig. 2, 2A)

3. Short Rod‹Solid Adjust the rod slightly short from ball joint to ball joint, so that the bell crank is lifted from its rest position by approximately 2 mm. (See Fig. 3)
