Reply to "Accelerator linkage"

A drop (1 drop) of oil on each of the downlink heim joints twice a season does wonders for their longevity.  Same thing for the bar heim joints (if you have them) - clean them with a rag and then a drop of oil on both sides and you're done.

What @Sacto Mitch has:

HexBarEnd02

And what some others have:

P1010280

There is a spacer between the hex bar and the heim joint, inside of the spring, to keep everything centered.  inside of that spacer is a 5/16" OD metal dowel that's pushed into the end of the hex bar and then pinned with a roll pin.  The upright tab that holds Mitch's bar in place is removed and the upright, male-end heim joint added and adjusted for height.

Mitch - I can send the rework instructions to you, if you're interested.  Parts list and illustrations included.
