After my adventures with the shift linkage bushings (in this thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=187814 ), the hand throttle in my -6 seemed to be disconnected. That is, after reassembly the position of the hand throttle seemed to have no effect on the idle.
Here's a view of the shifter/lever end of the hand throttle linkage from last weekend:  I'm hoping that during final re-assembly I knocked something loose at the shifter/tunnel end, which I ought to be able to re-attach once I get in there in the morning. But if not, where the heck is the other end of that linkage -- under the gas tank? (I was about to check the PET when the computer I have it on decided to lock up as a special fuch-you-and-good-night just for me... A sign I should turn in and get some sleep, I think.) Thanks in advance, --Steve. |

It's just a bushing with an ID and an OD. The ID doesn't have to be that precise, even. I'd be quite surprised if you couldn't find something locally that will work just fine.
